Hyperv Guest Manual Backup Windows 2008 R2

Hello,

    I have Windows 2008R2 which is acting as a hyperv host. I want to backup the virtual machine. I know it can be done this way using the wbadmin.

My Question is what if I shutdown the hyperv Guest and copy the .vhd manually and restore it to another server in case of any disaster, will it work ?

Thanks
