Windows Server Backup Complete Reference. Stops the currently running backup or recovery operation. Lists details of backups that can be recovered from a specified location. Specifies the location where you want to save the backup disk,UNC Path of share folder,etc.. Helps to include the list of items needs to backup. Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup.
You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. Click Next. This opens the Re-image your computer page. On the Choose additional restore options page, do the following optional tasks, and then click Next :.
Select the Format and repartition disks check box to delete existing partitions and reformat the destination disks to be the same as the backup.
This enables the Exclude disks button. Click this button and then select the check boxes associated with the storage space. The disk that contains the backup that you are using is automatically excluded. Unless a disk is excluded, data on it can be lost—regardless of whether it was part of the backup or whether it has volumes that are being restored. You should not exclude the system disk—the first disk in the BIOS boot order.
This disk is usually referred to as Disk 0, but in some conditions, Diskmgmt. But after the recovery, the system will not start and it may fail with an error that Bootmgr is missing. The BIOS will always use the first disk in the boot order to search for this file and if it is missing the computer will not start. In Exclude disks , if you do not see all the disks that are attached to the computer, you might need to install the associated drivers for the storage device.
Select the Only restore system drives check box to perform an operating system—only recovery. Click Install drivers to install device drivers for the hardware that you are recovering to.
Click Advanced to specify whether the computer is automatically restarted and the disks are checked for errors immediately after the recovery.
Confirm the details for the restoration, and then click Finish. The recovery will succeed as long as all the critical volumes volumes containing operating system components are recovered. For detailed steps, see To create a storage pool.
Create virtual disks for the storage space in the storage pool. For detailed steps, see To create a virtual disk.
Create volumes in the storage space. For detailed steps, see To create a volume. Make sure that the volumes you create are either of the same or greater size as the volumes included in the backup you are restoring. This example describes performing a bare-metal recovery without disk recreation when some or all the storage pool volumes are part of backup.
To recover the operating system to a previous known good state the administrator wants to recover the server using a Full Server Backup that includes System volumes and data volumes in a storage pool. There is no need for partition layout and disk configuration changes between backup and recovery. On the Choose additional restore options lear the Format and repartition disks check box page and then click Next. This example describes performing a bare-metal recovery onto a new server when some or all the storage pool volumes are part of backup.
In this situation the storage space no longer exists and the physical storage must be used to create both the operating system and the storage pool.
On the Select the location of the system image page , click the computer that contains the backup that you want to use, and then click Next. If the storage location contains backups of multiple computers, make sure that you click the row for the backups for the computer that you want to use. Then, on the Select the system image to restore page, click the backup that you want to use, and then click Next.
Click Advanced to browse for a backup in a remote shared folder on the network and provide the Universal Naming Convention UNC path to the backup, or if your backup is on a device, to install a device driver. To install a drive, the driver needs to be present in local system. You cannot install a driver from the network and, instead, need to provide a local path to the. If you use a domain in your environment, and if the backup storage location is on a computer that is a member of that domain, then computer containing the storage location should be on the IPsec boundary to be accessible by non-domain computers.
When a computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment, it becomes a non-domain computer and cannot access the usual network shares. Only those computers that allow non-domain computers to access the share can be used as a backup storage location in this way. You can also address this issue by adding the computer that is your backup storage location to a workgroup and placing the backup in a shared folder.
A computer running Windows Recovery Environment behaves as if it is in a workgroup, enabling you to access the shared folder with the backup. For example, to delete the system backup that was taken on May the fourth evening at , just run the following command in Command Prompt:. You can specify the backups you want to delete by using one, and only one, of the following parameters: [-version] , [-keepVersions] , or [-deleteOldest]. As a workaround, you can delete the corresponding shadow copy on the backup target location.
To delete shadow copy, you can follow the steps below:. Type diskshadow in an elevated Command Prompt and press Enter. Type the command delete shadows oldest G: and press Enter. Generally, the backup drive has no drive letter. As a backup program, WSB works in some ways, but it still has a long way to be perfect. Instead of worrying that the scheduled backup will fail someday, you can switch to more dedicated backup software which can let Windows Server Backup remove old backups automatically.
AOMEI Backupper Server provides 4 types of backup solution to back up your server and 5 different ways to automatically delete old backups. In addition, you can set an email notification to inform you if your backup is finished or failed.
