For this guide, I created a simple backup job for testing purposes. Subsequent posts will cover all options for Hyper-V VM backups.

Keep in mind that this guide is intended to demonstrate Veeam features and processes. It is not recommended to deploy any repository within a Virtual Machine.

Thanks for your time!
