The original free Hyper-V backup tool

Finally, you can use the built-in Microsoft Windows Server Backup tool to back up your Hyper-V VMs. This product is included with your license of Windows Server (which presumably you are already purchasing to run Hyper-V). However, while the price of this product is zero, you should know there are some down sides. Windows Server Backup has a very limited feature set and IT pros will find they need to do some registry tweaking to enable Windows Server Backup to support VSS.
