Partial Hyper-V-Backup

Hello,

I've a Hyper-V-Guest with 2 vhd files attached. One is system and data, the other is for the windows internal backup feature.

Disk A is about 200 gb, disk B is very large with 1.500 gb.

 

I want to backup the VM with VHD File A and the config, but I don't want to backup the VHD file B. 

I've bought the Hyper-V-Option. My question: Is there a possibility to backup the whole VHD file without using the windows-server agent?

 

thanks

  • It's not possible. I can backup the whole server with the hyper-v agent and delete the file from the b2d-partition.

    Or I can perform the backup with the remote agent and can't recover it as fast as it would be possible with the hyper-v agent in case of a storage fault.

    I'm very unsatisfied about this limitation because the hyper-v agent is very expensive...angry
