Hyper-V Backup and WAN Replication

Written by Misha Hanin

When Microsoft has released a Hyper-V the first question that I've asked myself was "How do I Backup / Replicate Hyper-V?"
In VMWare world one of the best applications for replication is Veeam, but they have nothing for Hyper-V.

So, I started to do more research and tests. I even build my own set of scripts and tools to do that task. I had been using this until I've found a Hyperoo.

Back in days of Tech-Ed 2010 in New Orleans I meet with other IT professionals, who are using Hyperoo as well, and they were really happy with this product.

From my point of view, I would like to say that Hyperoo is a fantastic piece of software that solves your Hyper-V backup headaches. Hyperoo allows us to do task like live backups on the same network to remote backups across the internet. Hyperoo is all you need to back up and secure your virtualised Hyper-V environments.

If you have a Hyper-V in your environment, you have to have Hyperoo as well ;) !
