how can i backup the list and configuration (not VHDs ) of hyper-v virtual machines via powershell ?


hi all

i have win 2008 r2 sp1 , i've installed hyper-v role , deployed 30 virtual machines have different configurations .

is possible backup virtual machines list , configuration ( not vhds ) if later  cleared windows , installed new win 2008 r2 sp1 , able redeploy virtual machines via command line ( powershell ) , not manually configure them ?  ( don't want backup .vhd files in procedure , because vhd files in different volume , not lost during windows format , installing )

thanks in advance


hi,

 

you may try export configuration only.

 

performing “configuration only” export / import on hyper-v
