How virtual servers are backup?

Backup is disk-based and is done using snapshot technology.

The backup software first creates a point-in-time image of the virtual server's file system called snapshot which takes a very short time to generate. The backup of the snapshot is then taken from a backup server connected to the point-in-time disk image over a separated storage network. This guarantees minimal impact on the server to be backup.
