Hi all, I need a solution to backup my 3 Hyper-V VMs at home. On a Windows 10 host are running 3 VM ( 2x Server 2012r2, 1x Windows 7 ). Is it possible with Acronis to backup the VMs automaticly? Thx in advance

Oliver, welcome to these public User Forums.

Acronis True Image 2019 does not support your Hyper-V VM's directly or your Server 2012 OS's, so you would need to consider using the Acronis Backup 12.5 business product to do what you are asking.

Hello Steve, thank you very much for this hint, but I fear that product is to expensive for private using to backup 3 VMs in my testlab.

I will have to find another solution to backup my VMs on NAS automaticly.

Best Regards

Oliver, understand that the business products are much more expensive than ATI for home users.

You can use ATI on the Windows hosting system where your VM's are located but would need to ensure that the VM's are not running when making a backup of the VM folder structure.  If your VM's are hosted on a NAS, then would suggest checking for any NAS based tools or applications for backup on that platform.
