Are you Still Using PowerShell Scripts to Back up Your Hyper-V Virtual Machines?

In addition, there is no alert system in place when errors occur in automated scripts. All of that puts your server infrastructure unnecessarily at risk.

It backs up your VMs, disks, and files to various target media and provides excellent logging, reporting, and alert functionality. Simply download it today and give it a try.
