Forgive my basic question, but I need you to elaborate on it in a simplified way. Are Hyper-V replication, checkpoints, and backups the same thing just like "apple tree" vs "apple", "apple pit", "g...
hi NKV_ask ,
From my experience, hyper-V checkpoints are snapshots. It requires you to manually take a snapshot of VM every time you think it is necessary.
For Hyper-V replication, did you mean Hyper-V Replica? It is also the feature in Hyper-V. You can find it in Hyper-V Manager. This will copy the selected VM from the primary host to destination host (replica server) as per the frequency you set.
As for backup, you can use Windows Server Backup to backup host or only selected VMs.
By the way, we have just tested Vinchin Backup & Recovery for Hyper-V VM backup. It works well in our environment.
