Recently, I have configured backups of Hyper-V VM using “Windows Server Backup (WSB)” utility. Windows Server Backup (WSB) uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to provide backup and restore support for W2K8 volumes, folders, and files. To make this tutorial Easy and understandable to everyone, I will explain everything in following three parts

• Installation of Windows Server Backup.

• Configuring Windows Server Backup to take VM Backups.
  
• Restoration of Hyper-V VM.

1) Installation of Windows Server Backup.

Windows Server Backup need to be installed as Feature using Server Manager as it is not installed by default. Following are the steps to install Windows Server Backup on Microsoft Windows Server 2008.

1) Open Server Manager >> select Features >> click Add Features.

2) In the Add Features Wizard, expand Windows Server Backup in the Features tree.

3) Select Windows Server Backup and also select Command-Line Tools.

4) After you make your selections, click Next.

5) Press Install to continue.

6) If you get following screens, you have installed Windows Server Backup (WSB).

Some time after login into Plesk Control Panel if shows following error:

The problem occurs when Plesk panel site is not properly configured IIS. To configure it again you will have to re-create the Plesk website in IIS by switching Plesk database provider to apache and then back to IIS. Following are the steps to re-create the Plesk website in IIS

1) Change the Plesk Web server fom IIS to Apache. This can be done using following command

C:\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin>reconfigurator --switch-plesk-web-server --new-provider=apache

2) Run Plesk re-configurator to re-configure everything and wait till it finishes.

3) Switch the Plesk Web server back to IIS from Apache

C:\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin>reconfigurator --switch-plesk-web-server --new-provider=iis

4) Run Plesk Re-configurator again.
