Since you can't (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281956.asp)...

    • Resizing
    • Migrating
    • Backing up or making replicas

Are there other ways to address these same 3 needs outside of the guest cluster itself? Those seem like pretty huge drawbacks. I assume 'making replicas' refers to incompatibility with hyper-v replica, but what specifically is 'backing up' referring to...VSS?

Was the intention behind this pretty much -> "You don't have / can't get enough hardware for new cluster(s) AKA SOFS, so here's a way to do it as a guest cluster to get High Availability but with these pretty major drawbacks." Even so, I'm pretty much in that boat right now: I can't get any additional hardware right now and I need somewhere - in pretty short order - to move a bunch of data since the old hardware is being retired.
