Windows R2 R2 Server Backup Advanced app---incremental backup to Network

the introduction Several advanced applications of the WINDOWS2008 server Backup program. Mainly want to include network incremental backup, backup notification, space management and so on.

Commercial backup software, in addition to having a nice management interface, also includes some very critical features, where network incremental backup is one of them.

We know that backing up to the network can make the data more secure than the local, and the incremental backup is a feature that is inseparable from the network backup. Because incremental backups can only back up changed data, making backups very efficient, which reduces the load on the network and the operating system itself. This is of great significance for today's growing storage.

It 's a pity that WindowsServer 's backup program can indicate a backup to a network share path, but it retains only the last backup and is fully backed up every time. If you are backing up to a local disk, you can support incremental backups. How do you combine the two?

The following is a workaround: (The following method assumes that you are already using Disk Manager with windowsserver backup software)

1. Ensure that the network share can be read and written by the current administrator, assuming \\backupserver\shared.

2. in Disk Management, create a new VHD,

3. on the save location of the VHD, save to \\backupserver\shared ,

4. Initialize the hard drive and format it.

5. Enable the Windows Server backup program, create a backup task, and select Backup to a dedicated disk when specifying the backup destination. and select the new VHD disk that you just added . (Note: The drive will be formatted when the wizard finishes)

6. After completing the wizard, click " optimize backup performance "and select faster backup performance in the middle.

Here, you will be able to back up the server to the network with an incremental backup method. Implemented features that we started with in the article that were only available in paid-for backup software.

After two days you'll be back in the log, and you'll find that the first backup takes a long time, the second backup is very short, and the data is transmitted very little.

This method leaves a problem, each time the server restarts, VHD will disappear from Disk Manager and be reloaded manually. Want to know how to load VHDs automatically? Please pay attention.
