Hyper-V Backup Utility - Update 24.08.29

 ·  ☕ 2 min read

Many thanks to user Digheads for PR 37.

With work from myself and PR 37 linked above, SMB authentication has been added. I’ve improved the documentation to help with the explanation of SMB support for backups - it’s a complicated situation when dealing with Hyper-V exports and non-domain joined servers.

PR 37 also added a Prefix option to backup all VMs with a certain prefix.

I’ve also added a long overdue -AllVms option to backup all VMs, regardless of their running status mentioned in issue 23.

Finally, I’ve added a -MakeCreds option which will generate a credential file for use with SMTP authentication.

2024-08-29: Version 24.08.29

  • Added Sponsorship information to the projects Github.
  • Added SMB Authentication, based on work from PR 37
  • Added -MakeCreds option to help in creation of SMTP authentication file.
  • Added -AllVms option to specify the backing up of all VMs on a Hyper-V server without the need for a list file.
  • Added -Prefix option to backup all VMs beginning with the string specified.
  • Added more information about Hyper-V’s export limitations to the documentation and in app help.

Hyper-V Backup Utility can be downloaded from:
