Scripts to backup Hyper-V virtual machines.
A Hyper-V snapshot (currently known as a Hyper-V checkpoint) represents a point-in-time copy of a selected virtual machine (VM), which allows you to capture the VM state, data, and its hardware configuration at a particular moment. Hyper-V snapshots are primarily used to revert a VM to its previous state in case any unnecessary changes were applied to the VM and the user wants to discard them. The main advantage of this technology is that Hyper-V snapshots can be easily and rapidly taken online and offline, without causing any workflow interruptions within a running VM. In Hyper-V, multiple snapshots can be created, deleted, and applied to a single VM.

Hyper-V Export is the process of exporting a selected VM, including its virtual hard disk files, VM configuration files, and Hyper-V snapshots, to a single unit. This operation can be performed when the VM is either online or offline.
