Hyper-V Backup Utility – Update 20.07.13

Flexible Hyper-V Backup Utility

A substantial update in terms of changes made under the hood, but I’ve also added a few new options requested by users. The biggest change is that errors are now handled properly and reported to the user in a reliable manner. All the changes are summarized below.

Version 20.07.13

• Added -ShortDate option. This will create backups with only the Year, Month, Day as the file name.
• Added pass through for 7-Zip options – CPU threads to use and compression level.
• Added proper error handling so errors are properly reported in the console, log and email.
• Bug fixes to create folders when paths are configured without the folders existing.

Hyper-V Backup Utility can be downloaded from:

• The Microsoft PowerShell Gallery
• GitHub

See the full documentation available here.

A demonstration video is available on my YouTube channel.
