Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, UoN and Windows SBS 2011

Hi, I am running Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as a host server and am looking (as with many other people) for a good solution for running Windows SBS 2011 (or other earlier versions that use the new backup facility)as a VM and being able to use the inbuilt backup facility. Firstly, have people been successful in installing the server element via the cmd line interface and configuring it? Secondly, the backup needs to access 1 or more USB external discs which will be swapped in turn for offsite storage. I just wanted to check if anyone has yet used UoN for this purpose and if so, how does it manage things when one disc is removed and a new one plugged in? Does windows automatically successfully find the newly attached disc and then use it for backup without any user interaction (assuming the first disc is removed) as it does on a native machine? In my view this is an absolutely necessary capability for my customers when using SBS and until I can find a good reliable solution I do not beleive SBS can be virtualised effectively. Thanks
