| The VM snapshot method is the preferred backup option, as it supports live guest VM backups. This means guest VM will not be put into a saved state when a VSS snapshot is taken during a backup job. So it will not affect the availability of any applications or services running on the guest VM every time a backup job is performed. | The VM snapshot method is the preferred backup option, as it supports live guest VM backups.

| If any of the VM Snapshot method requirements cannot be fulfilled, CloudBacko Pro will automatically use the Save State method. When the Saved State method is used, the guest VM is placed into a saved state while the VSS snapshot is created (effectively shut down), and the duration is dependent on the size of VM and performance of Huper-V host. The downside is it may affect the availability of any applications or services running on the guest VM every time a backup job is performed. | If any of the VM Snapshot method requirements cannot be fulfilled, CloudBacko Pro will automatically use the Save State method.
