Virtual Machine Backup

Virtual Machine (VM) backup involves creating a copy of a virtual machine’s entire system, including its operating system, applications, and data. Since VMs run on physical servers but are stored as files, backing them up is like copying a complete digital snapshot. This process ensures that if a VM encounters issues, such as hardware failure or data corruption, it can be quickly restored to a previous state, minimizing downtime and data loss. VMM backups are essential for maintaining business continuity and protecting digital assets in virtualized environments.
