 Thanks to: https://www.doitfixit.com/ We cannot backup Hyper-V Virtual Machines with pass-through virtual disks due to Hyper-V checkpoints limitation. Backup software will stop processing the backup job with “Processing VMs with pass-through disks is not supported” or similar error. To fix this issue (We are going to backup the Virtual Machine without pass-through disks) we can use pre/post scripts option in backup softwares. What we do here is when the backup starts we remove the pass-through disks and once the backup job is completed we re-attach the disks to the virtual machine. Pre-Script: Remove-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName  <VirtualMachineName>  -Passthru -ControllerType SCSI -ControllerNumber  <ID>  -ControllerLocation  <ID> Eg:  Remove-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName VM01 -Passthru -ControllerType SCSI -ControllerNumber 0 -ControllerLocation 0 Post-Script: Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName  <VirtualMachineName>  -Controller...

Our Veeam Backup Free Edition has been the most popular free Veeam tool, mostly thanks to its VeeamZIP functionality: ability to perform interactive full backups of unlimited amount of VMs. However, VeeamZIP has always had one small yet irritating limitation – the inability to schedule performing regular backups. Indeed, due to the fact that VeeamZIP can only be triggered interactively, there is simply no means in UI to schedule it like regular backup jobs. If you have been down this path, you will be happy to know that as of Update 2, this is no longer the case! In areas like the Veeam forums, our engagement on Twitter and other areas; we have recognized the concern and decided to address it by making Start-VBRZip PowerShell cmdlet available in Free Edition. 4-April 2016 Note: Update your PowerShell to version 3.0 at least prior to using this script, as we’ve discovered number of odd issues while working with PowerShell 2.0. How it works As noted earlier, the main functionality...

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.
