In the previous chapters we added relevant content on the Windows Server 2016 system level, and this chapter goes back to Active Directory and continues to comb around the content of the ad domain. Windows Server Backup consists of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools, and Windows PowerShell cmdlets, which provide a complete solution for your daily backup and recovery needs. You can use Windows Server Backup to back up the full server (all volumes), the selected volume, the System state, or a specific file or folder, and create a backup that can be used for bare metal recovery. You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and system state. Also, if a disaster such as a hard disk failure occurs, you can perform a bare metal recovery. (To do this, you need to back up the entire server or the volume that contains only the operating system files and the Windows Recovery Environment-this restores the entire system to the old system or to the new hard disk.) )
You can use Windows Server Backup to create and manage backups for a local computer or a remote computer. Also, you can schedule backups to run automatically.
Windows Server Backup is for everyone who needs a basic backup solution (from small business to a large enterprise), but it even applies to small organizations or non-IT professionals.
Precautions:
-
You must be a member of the Administrators group or the Backup Operators group to use Windows Server Backup.
-
Some backup or restore tasks must be performed on two computers running the same version of Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server R2, while other backup or recovery tasks can be performed on a computer running any version.
-
To perform a system state or full system recovery, you must use a backup of the same version of Windows that you are recovering. For example, you cannot use a backup of Windows Server 2012 to restore the system state of a computer that is running Windows Server R2. The
-
Firewall may be enabled. If you use the Windows Server Backup snap-in to manage a backup of another computer, the connection to the remote computer may be affected and can be resolved by changing the firewall rules. You are not affected when you are working on the local computer.
-
Windows Server Backup does not support backing up data or storing backups from cluster shared volumes (CSV). (However, you can use Windows Server Backup in a virtual machine to back up the virtual machine.)
-
If you use a virtual hard disk to store backups, the virtual hard disk may limit what you can recover if it is on a physical disk that contains a system volume or a critical volume. Also, if the virtual volume is online, the virtual volume file is excluded from the backup.
-
If you are the current user of the previous backup feature (Ntbackup.exe) and you plan to switch to a new Windows Server Backup, you may be affected by the following issues and changes:
When you upgrade to Windows Server 2012, the settings used to create the backup are not upgraded. You will need to reconfigure the settings.
You cannot use Windows Server Backup to back up files and folders on a volume that requires more than 2040 GB (or 2 TB). However, you can perform a file or folder backup as long as the data size is less than 2 TB. For example, you can back up 1.5 terabytes of data from 3 TB of capacity. However, the full server or volume recovery using the backup will recreate the 2 TB capacity instead of the 3 TB capacity.
You can only back up NTFS-formatted volumes on locally attached disks.
You cannot store backups on tape. Windows Server Backup supports backup to external and internal disks, discs and removable media (such as DVDs), and remote shared folders.
Backups created using Ntbackup.exe cannot be recovered using Windows Server Backup (for example, a 2008 low-version environment requires recovery to download 08 for the Ntbackup.exe version).
