hi,

 

the exact steps restore virtual machine depend on backup application which you use.

 

currently, symantec announces new backup exec 12.5 agent supports windows server 2008 hyper-v , can backup running virtual machines. according following blog, entire guest machines can restored flexible options provided rename server, change network configuration if desired power on guest machine following restoration.

for exact steps use symantec backup exec, please contact symantec more information.

 

by way, windows server backup can backup whole hyper-v computer, not individual vm. use it, please refer following blog register hyper-v vss writer windows server backup.
