Hello,
my question is kind of generic,  what would be the best why to backup a VM?
if server gets corrupted or unable to book I can restore to previous
backup?

Thanks,

Hi,

Filesystem snapshots could be handy, if you use LVM for your HV filesystems you can take snapshots of them and back them up.
If you are after a commercial solution, Idera comes to mind, they can also do snapshots and enable bare metal recovery.
