Abstract
A desktop image management system is described that can be used to efficiently manage desktops and desktop image data in hosted hypervisor environments. The efficiency of backing up data and otherwise managing desktops that are running on virtual machines in a hosted hypervisor environment can be improved by utilizing an image management client installed in the host operating system and individual drivers installed on each virtual machine running on the hosted hypervisor. The image management client may also simplify and improve the process of distributing software updates from the central server to target virtual machines running on the hosted hypervisor environment.
