Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the (Computer System Servicing(CSS) Grade-12) Self Learning Module

on (Installing Windows Server Backup) !
This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

 LESSON

WHAT IS WINDOWS SERVER BACKUP

Windows Server Backup is a built-in component of Windows Server 2008 R2 that

consists of a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools,
and Windows PowerShell cmdlets. Windows Server Backup, like its predecessor –
Ntbackup (on Windows Server 2000/2003), provides a complete solution for your
day-to-day backup and recovery needs.
What You Can Backup with Windows Server Backup
You can use Windows Server Backup to back up a full server (all volumes), a
selected list of volumes, the system state, or specific files or folders and to create a
backup that you can use for bare metal recovery. After performing a backup, and if
need arises, you can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the
system state. And, in case of disasters like hard disk failures, you can even perform
a bare metal recovery. You can use Windows Server Backup to create and manage
backups for the local computer or a remote computer (even for Server Core
installations), and you can schedule backups to run automatically.
Installing Windows Server Backup
When you add the Windows Server Backup Features and subordinate items, you
also install the following tools:
1. Windows Server Backup Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in
2. Wbadmin command-line tool
3. Windows PowerShell cmdlets for Windows Server Backup
To install Windows Server Backup you can use one of 3 methods:
1. Using Server Manager
2. Using Servermanagercmd.exe
3. Using PowerShell (See why every admin needs to learn PowerShell)
To install Windows Server Backup, log on to the computer by using the local
Administrator account or another account with Administrator privileges. To
perform backups or recoveries by using Windows Server Backup, you must be a
member of the Administrators or Backup Operators groups.
1. Installing Windows Server Backup Using Server Manager
1. Open the Server Manager and wait for it to load.
2. Click on “Features” and wait for it to load.
3. Click “Add Features“.
Installing Windows Server Backup
When you add the Windows Server Backup Features and subordinate items, you
also install the following tools:
1. Windows Server Backup Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in
2. Wbadmin command-line tool
3. Windows PowerShell cmdlets for Windows Server Backup
To install Windows Server Backup you can use one of 3 methods:
1. Using Server Manager
2. Using Servermanagercmd.exe
3. Using PowerShell (See why every admin needs to learn PowerShell)
We’ll take a look at each of the installation methods in more detail below.
To install Windows Server Backup, log on to the computer by using the local
Administrator account or another account with Administrator privileges. To
perform backups or recoveries by using Windows Server Backup, you must be a
member of the Administrators or Backup Operators groups.

1. Install the backup features from the Server Manager.

1. Click Start → Server Manager. 2.Next click Features → Add Features

3. Scroll to the bottom and select both

the Windows Server Backup and 4. Click Next, then click Install
the Command Line Tools

Backing up Server 2008 Active Directory

Now that we have the backup features installed we need to backup Active
Directory. You could do a complete server backup, but what if you need to do an
authoritative restore of Active Directory?
As you'll notice in Server 2008, there isn't an option to backup the System State
data through the normal backup utility.

We need to go "command line" to backup Active Directory.

1. Open up your command prompt by clicking Start and type "cmd" and hit
enter.
2. In your command prompt type "wbadmin start systemstatebackup -
backuptarget:e:" and press enter.
Note: You can use a different backup target of your choosing
3. Type "y" and press enter to start the backup process.

When the backup is finished running

you should get a message that the
backup completed successfully. If it did
not complete properly you will need to
troubleshoot.

Now you have a system state backup of

your 2008 Server

2. Installing Windows Server Backup Using Servermanagercmd.exe

Using the servermanagercmd.exe command is easy, however this command will be

deprecated in future versions of Windows, so don’t get used to it too much…
1. Open a Command Prompt window with elevated permissions (right-click
CMD and select “Run as Administrator“).
2. Type: servermanagercmd -i Backup-Features
Note: Servermanagercmd.exe is not case sensitive.

3. Installing Windows Server Backup Using PowerShell

In Windows Server 2008 R2, PowerShell is installed by default. However, in order to

install roles with it, you need to import the Server Manager module.
1. Open a PowerShell window with elevated permissions (right-click PowerShell
and select “Run as Administrator“.
2. Type: Import-Module servermanager
3. Once imported, type: Add-WindowsFeature Backup-Features

WR AP UP

SYSTEM SERVER BACK UP

Windows Server Backup (WSB) is a feature that provides backup and recovery
options for Windows server environments. Administrators can use Windows Server
Backup to back up a full server, the system state, selected storage volumes or
specific files or folders, as long as the data volume is less than 2 terabytes.

Windows Server Backup is a built-in component of Windows Server 2008 R2 that

consists of a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools,
and Windows PowerShell cmdlets.
