Hi folks,
Plan to finish my migration from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 as a Hyper V VM this
weekend. One of my next steps I am planning is my backup procedure for SBS
2008.
My current SBS 2003 has a tape robot running Backup Exec. My robot is out
of warranty now, and I had figured to switch to USB external hard drives for
backups - swapping out each night. However, it appears that Hyper V and USB
don't co-habitate well.
It appears you have add the USB hard drive to the Host OS (Server 2008),
mark it as offline, and add it to the virutal machine as a physical disk.
Once you have this set up, do you have to re-run it each day when you
unplug/plug in the next drive in the rotation?
Anyway, how are you backing up your SBS and Servers in a virtual
environment? I'm looking for advice.

Mike
