    Thanks for submitting this enhancement request, unfortunately the "use case" description shows the commands you want to use and states the results you desire, however, it doesn't explain *why*. In order for us to make the RC 0 when no guests are found, we would need to be confident that it is *always* perfectly normal for no guests to be found. I would argue that customers would like to be notified when their hyper-v backup did not backup any machines at all.
    if you choose to submit another RFE please provide more details for a significant discussion and a meaningful response, such details should include the business reason (impact to SLAs, reduced RPO etc.), technical functionality (what are you trying to achieve, and why do you think it should be done in this specific way etc.), reason why current implementation and best practices aren't meeting those requirements we need these details to fully understand this requirement
