It's VSS: "...This integration service makes that possible by coordinating the virtual machine's workloads with the host's backup process." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/integration-services#hyper-v-volume-shadow-copy-requestor

The question says as follow. "you back up Serve1" But VSS integration service is to back up VM as user200 says. May be "you back up Serve1" means that you back up host and guest VM ?
