SERVER + CHAPTER 8 LAB 8-3 CONFIGURE AND USE WINDOWS SERVER BACKUP
Windows Server Backup is a feature that allows you to back up your server data, applications, and system state to an external storage device or a network location.
You can use it to perform manual or scheduled backups, and restore your server in case of a disaster.
To install Windows Server Backup, you can use either Server Manager or PowerShell.
Here are the steps for both methods:
Using Server Manager:
Open Server Manager and click Add roles and features.
Under Select installation type, click Next.
Under Select destination server, select the server, and then click Next.
Under Select server roles, click Next.
Under Select features, select Windows Server Backup, and then click Next.
Under Confirm installation selections, click Install, and wait until the feature is installed.
Using PowerShell:
Open PowerShell as an administrator.
Run the command Install-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup.
Wait until the installation is complete.
To backup the server’s C: drive to a previously configured iSCSI drive, you need to create a custom backup job and select the source and destination for the backup.
Here are the steps:
Open Server Manager and click Tools, and then select Windows Server Backup.
Right-click Local Backup and then select Backup Once.
Under Backup Options, select Different options, and click Next.
Under Backup Configuration, select Custom, and click Next.
Under Select Items for Backup, click Add Items, and select the C: drive from the list.
Click OK, and then click Next.
Under Specify Destination Type, select Remote shared folder, and click Next.
Under Specify Remote Folder, enter the path of the iSCSI drive in the format \servershare, where server is the name or IP address of the iSCSI target, and share is the name of the shared folder on the iSCSI drive.
Click Next.
Under Confirmation, review the backup settings, and click Backup to start the backup job.
