“SharePoint is a pet, it‘s a hardware monster and it‘s hungry.“

For Productivity Demos, Samples & Projects I need:

Demo/Dev Images –> Several VM‘s (SharePoint, Exchange, Lync, …) + Snapshots

You take as much Cores, RAM and Disk-Space as you can get

But anyway, you will run to limits. Over time you got the feeling that hardware becomes smaller.

Azure – Hardware as Service

Using Azure like HyperV

What‘s the important feature of HyperV for SharePoint –Developers?

Snapshotsas temporary Backup

Possible on File-baseVM must be stopped before create a snapshot

Revert back to previous SnapshotProcess is more complex but can be scripted e.g. in powershell to make it easy

Does SharePoint allow/support the use of snapshots?

Snapshots in Azure

Yes, but with restrictions. Only possible for the whole farm (all VMs and all SQL databases)

Maybe there exist an easier way to restore?

Like in HyperVShut down VM, Copy VHD, Start VM:

Backup via Storage Explorer or ScriptStart-AzureStorageBlobCopy Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState

Backup Development work: Using Source Code Control

Visual Studio Online or TFS to load and push back source code

Backup via copy VHDReally? Never!

Copy 100 GB as backup takes? 30+ min

Snapshot is faster, for HyperV!>1 + >1 + >3 Minutes. (for 1xx GB)
