When most of us deploy a Hyper-V VM, we give thought to the location of the virtual disk file as it can make a big difference to the storage situation of a host. But did you know that Hyper-V VMs have a lot more than just the virtual disk file? Sure, the virtual disk file can get you in trouble if a lot of VMs are on a host and the C:\ drive fills up. But, the other files of the VM are very important as well. Let’s break down the anatomy of the Hyper-V file format.

At Veeam, we believe the Modern Datacenter is based on virtualization. While we still see that some companies have a few remaining physical servers left, the majority are virtualized. However, a modern datacenter will still have certain physical devices. Most companies use physical workstations or laptops for their end-users to do their work and those devices have data on it that needs to be protected.
