hi,

 

if hyper-v computer windows server backup, need backup vms, after that, must restore vms @ same time(you can’t backup/restore individual vm).

 

for more information, can refer to:

 

how hyper-v virtual machines parent partition on windows server 2008-based computer using windows server backup

by way, if want backup/restore individual vm in future, may consider using microsoft data protection manager.
