Backing up HyperV VMs using Windows Server Backup
In order to enable VSS based backups of Hyper-V VMs using Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2008, you must add the following registry keys to register the Hyper-V VSS Writer (vssadmin list writers - {66841CD4-6DED-4F4B-8F17-FD23F8DDC3DE}) with Windows Server Backup.
NOTE: the WindowsServerBackup key is not created when installing the Windows Server Backup feature. This key must be created manually.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\WindowsServerBackup\Application Support\{66841CD4-6DED-4F4B-8F17-FD23F8DDC3DE}
Name: Application Identifier
Type: REG_SZ
Value: Hyper-V
