    I'm not sure the best way to approach this, but I'm looking for a backup and recovery method that will cover all my bases. Windows 2008 R2 full server running Hyper-V with 4 guests.

    Host also has SQL 2008 R2, so I need to back that up, but no other user data on this system.

    One guest runs Windows 2003 with SQL 2000 plus other documents. Need to back that up. Other guests not so important right now.

    Should I back up data or virtual images or both? Just looking for enough info to get me started creating a plan.

    Thanks.

    Hello TopTech,

    You can use DPM 2010 / 2012. (Recommended)

    Otherwise Altaro can be second choice.

    SQL Data's can be backed up as data file.

    Guest VMs , better to backup VMs, in any disaster , you can easily recover.

    Both back up will be better but depends on your storage to be backup.

    I am doing with DPM2010. Both datas and VMs scheduled for disaster. I had disaster in one host server. And it was easy to recover.

    Sincerely,

    Murat Demirkiran

    Hi,

    It depends.

    First of all, install SQL Server 2008 R2 on Hyper-V host machine is not recommended.

    For more information, you can refer to:

    Hyper-V, not your mother's Windows server anymore..is it really appropriate to run Exchange in the Hyper-V parent partition?
    http://itproctology.blogspot.com/2008/03/hyper-v-not-your-mothers-windows-server.html

    By the way, you can use either Windows Server Backup or Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager(DPM) to back up your virtual machine or backup the data directly within the virtual machine. Windows Server Backup is a Windows in-build feature, it’s free. However, you can’t backup/restore individual virtual machines with it, you have to backup/restore all the virtual machines at the same time. DPM is a business software, you have to pay it.

    Hi!

    As Vincent stated, you should keep your host machine clear of other applications running besides Hyper-V. You might want to migrate Your 2008 SQL to a virtual machine instead.

    You can enable the built-in Windows Server Backup Feature on your Hyper-V host to schedule backups of both your host machine as well as your virtual machines.

    If you want centralized backup management at both host level (backing up entire virtual machines on say a weekly basis) and file level (backups of the individual SQL databases on a more frequent basis, say hourly), you might want to check out a solution such as the above mentioned Microsoft DPM.

    DPM and other third-party backup solutions are commercial products that requires purchase and licensing, but the Windows Server Backup feature comes built-in with your 2008 R2 operating system. The Windows server 2003 equivalent is called NTBackup if you're interested in file level backups inside your VM and don't mind your servers taking their own individual backups. Would be a lot more to manage, but it's free.

    Get VEEAM and use their VM replication feature. Also VM replica from Hyper-V 3.0 could be in use for you:

    Good stuff but it requires Windows 8 / Hyper-V 3.0 "on the other side" and it's no always possible. Also it uses compression only so WAN accelerator is assumed.
