What should you configure?

Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012. Server1 has the Hyper-V
server role installed.
Server1 hosts four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4.
Server1 is configured as shown in the following table.

You plan to schedule a complete backup of Server1 by using Windows Server Backup.
You need to ensure that the state of VM1 is saved before the backup starts.

Backup
Operations in Hyper-V
No
VSS Writer Available?
In some cases, you need an Application-consistent backup but there is no VSS writer available. One
example of this is MySQL. Hyper-V backups of virtual machines containing MySQL will always result in
either a crashconsistent or an image-level backup. For MySQL, the latter is probably acceptable as
MySQL doesn’t perpetually expand the log file. However, if you’re using MySQL within a VSS-aware VM,
then a Hyper-Vbased backup tool is going to take a crash-consistent backup. MySQL (like any otherdatabase system) isn’t always recoverable from a crash-consistent backup; tool is going to take a crashconsistent backup. MySQL (like any
other database system) isn’t always recoverable from a crash-consistent backup; even when recovery is
possible, it may be painful. MySQL is just one example; any number of line-of-business Applications
could tell a similar tale. In the case of MySQL, one solution is to find a guest-level backup Application
that is MySQL- aware and can back it up properly. For Applications for which no backup Application has
a plug-in, you may need to have pre- and post-backup scripts that stop services or close Applications. If
brief downtime is acceptable, you can disable the Backup item in Hyper-V Integration Services, thereby
forcing Hyper-V to save
the state of the VM during backup. This technique results in an image-level backup and can be used on
any Application that doesn’t have a VSS writer.

TechNet Article on Integration Services:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn798297(v=ws.11).aspx

Hyper-V integration services, are a bundled set of software which, when installed in the virtual machine improves integration between the host server and the virtual machine. Integration services come pre-installed in most supported guest operating systems.

Integration Services enables HyperV to do the following on the guest OS:
Operating System Shutdown
Time Synchronization
Data Exchange
Heart Beat
Backup (volume snapshot using Volume Shadow Copy)
Guest Services (Copy files to guest OS without a network connection)
