While I provide this option, I caveat with the fact that I also have Bacula
client installed on the VM to backup either the system state for DCs or the
applications running on the windows server on an alternate regular schedule. I
then use this Technet process to back up the VMs off hours. Simply backing up
the VMs is not enough. I once a week back up the virtual machines using the
below process. I backup to an NFS share on my backup server, then I back up
that to a tape for off site.

For Vmware ESXi we use the following, again configuring this software to back
up to an NFS share weekly and then putting that on tape for off-site.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] how Backup Hyper-V Virtual Machines
Hello Zainelabdeen
You can turn off the machines and make a copy of them with the scripts attached
and turn them on again
# The FileSet example
FileSet {
Name = "FileSet_VM_SRV_Intranet"
Include {
Options {
signature = md5
compression = gzip
onefs = no
ignorecase = yes
accurate = pins5
verify = pins5
}
File = "C:/Hyper-V/Virtual Machines/CC1C79AE-715F-431D-AD53-CF9A7BAB7D9B"
File = "C:/Hyper-V/Virtual
Machines/CC1C79AE-715F-431D-AD53-CF9A7BAB7D9B.xml"
File = "C:/Hyper-V/Virtual Hard Disks/servidor_debian_intranet.vhdx"
}
}
# The Job Example
Job {
Name = "Backup_VM_Servidor_Intranet"
JobDefs = "Backup_Padrao"
Client = srv_hyperv-fd
FileSet = "FileSet_VM_SRV_Intranet"
Schedule = "Agenda_VM_Diaria"
ClientRunBeforeJob = "powershell C:/'Program
Files'/Bacula/scripts/stop_virtual_machine.ps1 SRV_INTRANET"
ClientRunAfterJob = "powershell C:/'Program
Files'/Bacula/scripts/start_virtual_machine.ps1 SRV_INTRANET"
Enabled = true
Priority = 10
}
Or you can use wbadmin (Windows Server Backup) to make a hot backup and copy
the files:
