Backup Strategies for Hyper-V
Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, HYCU, and the Backup Architecture That Fits
Untested backups aren’t backups. They’re hope.
Every organization says backup is important. Few treat it as an architecture decision. In a Hyper-V environment, the backup solution you choose determines your Recovery Point Objective (how much data you can afford to lose), your Recovery Time Objective (how quickly you can recover), and whether your “backups” actually work when you need them.
This post focuses specifically on data protection and recovery , getting copies of your VMs off the production storage and into a location where you can restore from them. Replication-based DR strategies (Hyper-V Replica, Storage Replica, SAN-level replication) are covered separately in Post 14: Multi-Site Resilience, which complements this post.
