Replication of a Virtual Machine Using Hyper-V Replica During Export

Q: If I export the replica of a virtual machine (VM), does replication continue during the export?

A: Yes. The replica of a VM using Hyper-V Replica is in an off state and can be exported along with all its additional snapshots, if enabled. During an export, the replication from the primary continues, avoiding any possible degradation in continuity.
