SBS 2003/2008 Server backup software

How to back up Windows SBS and simplify Server administrators' job?

Understand what is Windows Small Business Server

Windows Small Business Server (SBS) (formerly Microsoft Small Business Server) is an integrated server suite from Microsoft designed for running network infrastructure (both intranet management and Internet access) of small and medium enterprises having no more than 75 workstations or users. Application server technologies are tightly integrated to enable small businesses with targeted solutions such as the Remote Web Workplace, and offer management benefits such as integrated setup, enhanced monitoring, a unified management console, and remote access.

Windows Small Business Server is technically not an 'edition' of the Windows Server operating system but rather a customized SKU of server technologies targeted specifically at small businesses. As such, the application servers are not merely bundled with the OS but are tightly integrated into the operating system. Since the release of SBS 2003, the same service packs as those for Windows Server or other server products can be used to update the OS.

Why it is important to backup Small Business Server?

Small businesses face the same IT challenges as larger organizations, but they are more vulnerable when it comes to recovering from a disaster. Small companies are dependent on fewer servers, generally have smaller IT staffs, and fewer technical resources than a large enterprise so data recovery requires relatively more personnel and technological assets than those of large companies. In a word, Windows Small Business Server backup is more important for small businesses.

Solution 1: Windows own backup software

Under Windows Small Business Server, you also can perform regular server backups for small companies. To schedule and implement a backup, run the Backup Configuration Wizard from the To Do List or from the Manage Backup task pad in Server Management. To backup Windows Small Business Server, you must be logged on as a member of the Domain Administrator security group.

1. Click Start, and then click Server Management.

2. Click Backup in the console tree.

3. If you have already configured backup settings and want to back up the computer running Windows Small Business Server immediately, click Backup Now.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the wizard.

Solution 2: Backup Small Business Server with SBS backup software

Although the Windows built-in backup tool can enable you to do regular backups, Server administrators need a more complete and professional server backup software to backup their Servers. And it is - EaseUS Todo Backup Server.
