Backing up Hyper-V virtual machines from the command line
Last week I posted about how you can now use Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2012 to backup virtual machines. One of the first questions that people had was “how do I do this from the command-line?” So – let me show you!
The tool you will want to use is “wbadmin.exe”
