Server Backup Strategy: Goals and Methods

  • Regular Snapshots of System Drive Image
    The basic part of Windows Server backup consists of making disk images for system drives (or partitions) of Windows Server, either physical or virtual. To backup image disk, Handy Backup provides the Disk Image and System Recovery plug-ins, and for virtual machines, there are Hyper-V and VMware.
  • Restoration from Windows Server Backup
    Restore operations are of two basic types: bare metal recovery of the server image to a scratch disk, or a "regular" restoration to some physical or virtual machine (often by using a network) for cloning or mirroring server data. Handy Backup supports both techniques, one by a HBDR utility and other by itself.
  • Saving Server-level Data
    Another part of a typical backup plan is a regular copying of server-type data including databases (such as backup MS SQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Lotus Notes, IBM DB2, Oracle and PostgreSQL), virtual machines and arrays, shared user and project folders, websites and other typical information stored on servers.
