Windows Server Backup
If you have the Windows Server Backup feature installed, you can access it via the Windows
Server Backup snap-in in Server Manager. When you click this snap-in, you will
be presented with a summary of the latest backup messages. If you haven??™t performed a
backup of the server yet, it??™s a good idea to back it up now or schedule a backup to take
place in the near future.
Hands-On Exercise: Creating a Backup Schedule In this exercise, we will create a new
Backup Schedule to back up our primary Windows partition to a separate hard drive on
the same system.
CAUTION The backup destination disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost during this
process, so make sure that the target disk you are going to use doesn??™t contain any data you want
to keep.

you will need to add the Windows Server Backup feature using the following
procedure:
1. Open Server Manager if you haven??™t already done so.
