Almost every computer user, especially the server user, should be aware of the importance of backing up critical data. And if you aren't aware, you'll likely become painfully aware on the day after a server crash. What can you do in your small organization to make sure your data on Windows 2003 Server is safe? Here we recommend two ways for you. You can consider using the backup utility included with Windows 2003 Server to backup your data. Or you also can backup your Windows 2003 Server with the reliable and user-friendly server backup software.
The Windows 2003 Server built-in backup utility enables you to backup and restore files and setting for you Server. You can find the Windows 2003 Server backup utility at Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup. When you initially start the utility, it presents a wizard to walk you through the backup process.
The first thing you need to do is to let the wizard know what you want to do. Do you want to back up files or do you want to restore files? Next, you'll see the screen where you get to choose what exactly you would like to back up. You can either back up everything on your computer or you can be more selective in what you save. If you've chosen to select specific items to back up, the next step of the wizard gives you the opportunity to do so. For example, you can opt to backup drive D, System State and so on. With the backup contents selected, you need to provide a safe place to put them and then the backup operations to be performed will be listed. To perform backup, click finish.
For advanced options for the backup job, click the "Advanced" button. There are a number of specific things that you can do on the Advanced Options window. For example:
Backup Type: The Normal option backs up all files and clears the archive bit. The Copy option backs up files without clearing the archive bit. The Differential option backs up only files that are new or that have changed since the last Normal or Incremental backup without clearing archive bit. The Incremental option backs up only files that are new or that have changed since the last Normal or Incremental backup. The Daily option backs up all files that have been added or that have changed since the previous day.
Back up migrated Remote Storage data: This option includes data in remote storage in your backup.
Verify Data After Backup: This verifies that the data that is backed up matches the data on the original media.
Use hardware compression, if available: Hardware compression increases the storage space on the backup media and reduces storage costs.
Though the free backup utility built-in Windows Server 2003 has so many functions, there are also some limitations. If you backup your system, it will be hard to restore it when the system crashes.
