Feature available in Uranium Backup Pro Virtual and Gold editions.

Since version 8.9.5 Uranium can perform backups of virtual machines running on Hyper-V hosts. A strongly requested feature thanks to the growing adoption of the Microsoft virtualization platform.

Select from the VM list the virtual machines and the disks you want to back up. Then specify the backup destination:

The configuration is complete! You’re ready to run your first backup!
