Hi
I'm trying to understand Saved state backups and exactly what happens in a hyper V saved state backup. Is a saved state backup equivalent to taking a crash consistent backup or is it equivalent to taking a cold backup (offline)?
My understanding since VSS is not involved inside the VM is that these are not application consistent backups. What would a user need to do when restoring a saved state backup? would applications inside the VM have some data loss, inconsistent data?
Could somebody please explain the difference between a saved state backup and a crash consistent backup. Is a saved state backup considered equivalent to a crash consistent backup?
Thanks in advance!
