Hyper-V-Backup

Creates a full backup of running Hyper-V Virtual Machines.

This script will:

Create a full backup of Virtual Machine(s), complete with configuration, snapshot, and VHD files.
If the -noprems switch is used, the script will shutdown the VM and copy all the files to the backup location, then start the VM.
You should use the -noperms switch if Hyper-V does not have the appropriate permissions to the backup location to do an export.
If the -noprems switch is NOT used, the script will use the built-in export function.

Important note: This script should be run on a Hyper-V host. The Hyper-V PowerShell management modules should be installed.
