Replication of a hyper-v Virtual Machine in which SQL Server is running

Yeah, is it possible! Best practices that I ever take:

• First replication on an outside hour production;
• No low minutes in the first replications;
• Backup before replication ever.

Hi akd79,

I have done this many times never had any issues and have tested a lot too. As @haslund has pointed out very important to turn on application aware so that VSS is leveraged in Windows so that the database is a “ready” state for backup. Otherwise I believe it would be in “crash consistent” state, like pulling the plug.

cheers
