Thank to: http://www.msserverpro.com/i The Windows Server Backup (WSB) is the built-in feature in Windows Server 2012 and is not an enterprise –wise backup solution. The WSB supports backing up virtual machines on stand-alone hosts and clustered hosts with CSVs. With the improvements in the Windows Server 2012, administrators can select backup and restore virtual machines (VMs) on the same Hyper-V Server. For medium or enterprise organization, Data Protection Manger 2012 R2 is the perfect solution for centralized protection of virtual machines and data. There are also many numbers of third parties backup solutions for Hyper-V. Here, you will use the Windows Server Backup (WSB) feature to backup and restore Virtual machines. The Windows Server Backup (WSB) feature is not installed on a server by default, it must be enabled. There are two ways to enable Windows Server Backup (WSB): From Server Manager Open Server Manager Open the Manage menu and choose Add Roles and Features
