Hi , I have currently have a Dell server host machine on- premises which has hyper v manager installed . It runs around 15 VM's. We are backing up those virtual machines. But we wanted to backup the host machine as well.. tell me what are the options to backup the host machine ? If it is windows server, how can I backup (without hyper v VM's data ) and restore it to new host Incase host gets corrupted or goes down ?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Hope you're doing well.

    You can install Windows server backup to perform a full backup of the host server, and then restore the machine in WinRE mode.

    Best Regards,
