Scheduled backups
Scheduled backups are convenient, and ensure that your data is regularly backed up without requiring manual intervention. To create a backup schedule, you should decide what to back up, when, and how often to back up your server, and where to store the backups. Here is how.
Step-1: Open Server Manager on Windows Server 2022.
Step-2: Click Tools in the top right corner of the window, and select Windows Server Backup.
Step-3: Right-click Local Backup, and select Backup Schedule.
Step-4: Click Next.
Step-5: Select the type of configuration you want to schedule: Full server (recommended) or Custom. The full server backup will back up all your server data, applications, and system state. Use the custom backup to select what you want to back up.
Step-6: How often and when you want to run backups, click Once a day, and then click Next. You can also choose whether you want to run a backup more than once a day.
Step-7: Specify Destination Type, select Back up to a shared network folder, and click Next. You can also choose:
Back up to a hard disk that is dedicated to backups (recommended)
Back up to a volume
Note that you use a remote shared folder as the storage destination for scheduled backups. Each backup will erase the previous backup, and only the latest backup will be available.
Step-8: Specify Remote Share Folder, add a remote location, and click Next. Note that to schedule backups, you will need to provide usernames and passwords.
Step-9: Confirmation, click Finish.
Step-10: Click Close to close the window. You will see that a new scheduled backup is configured on the server.
