backy Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi there. I've just upgraded to Retrospect 9 Multi Server, and it's installed my PC running Windows Server 2012 R2. My clients are backing up nicely. What's the best way to preform a backup of this server itself? I've selected the C: drive and backed that up. Is that all I need to do? Or am I better off installing the Retrospect client on the server, and backing it up that way? Or is the client unnecessary for this use? My goal is in the event of a system hard drive failure, to get up and running again fairly quickly by restoring the server backup to a fresh hard drive. Thanks for your time.

Lennart_T Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, it's enough to backup the C: drive (provided you don't have a D:, E: or F: drive ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jotrago Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Make sure to check the System State backup in the Script Options. Consider setting up the Bare Metal Disaster Recovery Facilities and test them Consider creating separate duplication jobs for your config file and catalogs, so they are available as normal files (not a backup set) in the event of a Disaster. See the User Guide > CH10 Management > Catalog & Config backups and User Guide > CH10 Management > Moving Retrospect. The same technique applies to a bare metal recovery of the Retro Server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
