Two Ways to Backup Windows 11 VMs

Handy Backup offers two distinct ways to backup virtual machines on Windows 11, each tailored for different backup needs and scenarios. Here’s how you can take advantage of these methods:


Full VM Backup Icon

The first option involves backing up the entire VM on your Windows 11 system. This method creates a complete snapshot of the virtual machine, including the operating system, applications, and data. It’s ideal for a full disaster recovery solution, ensuring you can restore the VM to its exact state without any data loss.

VM Inside Backup Icon

The second method involves installing Handy Backup inside the VM itself. This allows you to back up only specific files, directories, or applications within the virtual machine, rather than the entire VM. This option is great for fine-grained control over what to back up, especially when you don’t need a full VM snapshot.
