VM backup
This article explains the process of creating a backup plan for Hyper-V virtual machines.
General information
One of the key features of Xopero ONE is native Hyper-V backup. It enables you to back up either all virtual machines or selected VMs on both standalone and clustered Hyper-V hosts.
Creating a backup plan
Log in to , go to the Plans tab and click the + Add plan button in the top toolbar.
Select Hyper-V from the platforms list.
Define the name of the backup plan.
In the configuration aside, choose the host you want to protect. You can then either:
Back up all virtual machines (VMs) for comprehensive protection.
Select specific VMs by checking the boxes next to the desired entries.
Configure options specific to Hyper-V backup.
Choose your backup storage location.
Configure the Scheduler & data retention settings by defining when backups should run and which types of backup copies to use.
Set the retention policy to determine how long backups are stored — any copies exceeding this period will be automatically deleted.
Go to the Advanced settings section to customize additional options, including encryption, compression levels, and deduplication. These settings provide greater flexibility and help optimize the backup process.
After completing the configuration, click the Save button. The protection plan will then automatically begin protecting your Hyper-V virtual machines according to the schedule you defined.
