System Recovery with 2012 Hyper-V

I need to backup 1 virtual machine in 2012 Hyper-V.  Can I restore individual files on the virtual machine, or do I have to restore the complete virtual machine?

So, can I install on Hyper-V and a Virtual Machine with the one license?

Not sure on this, I will probably need to check with someone.

So you mean the VM is running on the same host, right? And what license do you have?

    I have the 11609-M2959 - SYSTEM RECOVERY SERVER ED WIN 1 SERVER ONPREMISE STANDARD

    PERPETUAL LICENSE COMP UPG CORPORATE

    Should it just be on the virtual machine?

      So for this scenario, it looks like you need 2 licenses as you are protecting 2 different machines (host and VM).

      In case you were not aware, we also have the Virtual Edition; this is 1 license that can be installed on the Hyper-V host and on an unlimited number of VMs running on that host. However, if you are only interested in 1 VM, it probably is not cost effective to go down this route - I just wanted to make you aware that this is available.
