+# Hyper-V VM Backup Script
+
+This PowerShell script automates the **export and backup of Hyper-V virtual machines** whose names contain `Backup_`.
+
+## ✨ Features
+- Creates and cleans a temporary **export directory**
+- Exports all VMs matching `*Backup_*`
+- Copies the exported files to a **network backup path**
+- Cleans up the temporary export folder after transfer
+- Provides console messages for progress and errors
+
+## 📌 Requirements
+- Windows with Hyper-V role installed
+- Run PowerShell as **Administrator**
+- Access to the network share defined in `$backupPath`
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+1. Adjust the paths in the script:
+   ```powershell
+   $exportPath = "D:\export"
+   $backupPath = "\\192.168.0.3\backup\VM"
+   ```
+   
+2. Run the script:
+   ```powershell
+   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Backup-HyperV.ps1
+   ```
+
+3. All VMs with Backup_ in their name will be exported and copied to the backup location.
+
+⚠️ Notes
+
+- The export folder ($exportPath) is cleared before and after each run.
+- Ensure enough free space in the export directory.
+- Network connectivity and write permissions to $backupPath are required.
