If Windows Server 2012 is a soldier in the IT army, then consider the Hyper-V replica feature that’s baked into the software the soldier’s backpack with an endless supply of parachutes.

Microsoft’s virtualization product, Hyper-V, is bundled with Windows Server 2012, and it offers the ability to create replicas of the virtual machines (VMs) and have them backed up continuously, which could prove invaluable to small organizations looking for a simple, Windows-integrated backup and disaster recovery solution.
