 How to Schedule back up, backup once, and restore or recover the backup?




Windows Server provides built-in backup and recovery capabilities through the Windows Server Backup feature. Here are the key points:

  1. Backup:
  • You can perform full server backups or select specific files/folders to back up.
  • Backups can be saved to local drives, network shares, or removable media.
  • You can schedule regular backups or perform one-time backups as needed.
  • To start a backup, open Windows Server Backup, select "Backup Once" or "Backup Schedule", and follow the wizard.
  1. Recovery:
  • You can restore entire servers, specific volumes, or individual files/folders.
  • To restore data, open Windows Server Backup, select "Recover", choose the backup source and date, then select what to restore.
  • You can restore to the original location or an alternate location.
  1. Key features:
  • Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) backups allow restoring to different hardware.
  • System state backups capture critical Windows components and settings.
  • Incremental backups reduce backup time and storage requirements.
  1. Best practices:
  • Perform regular full server backups, ideally daily or weekly.
  • Store backups in a separate physical location for disaster recovery.
  • Test restores periodically to ensure backups are working correctly.

Windows Server Backup can be installed via Server Manager if not already present. For more advanced needs, third-party backup solutions are also available that may offer additional features and flexibility
