From: Joe53 on 18 May 2010 07:07 Hey, I've seen the Backup utilitly for Server 2008 is quite different, is there anyway to check to make sure your backups are successful and is there anyway to be able to just backup up certain files that you want and not the whole drive. Thanks in advance, Craig
From: Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS] on 18 May 2010 07:40 Hello Joe53(a)newsgroup.nospam, The way as Windows server 2008 has changed there isn't an option to backup only files/folders. If the backup is run without errors you will see in the event viewer.

From: Joe53 on 18 May 2010 08:47 Thanks for the response, can you restore only folders and files? Or do you do a complete restore? I might need a third party backup program?

From: Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS] on 18 May 2010 09:03 Hello Joe53(a)newsgroup.nospam, As the backup is stored in a .vhd file this can be opened with Virtual server for example, that way you can restore files/folder content. http://www.petri.co.il/mounting-vhd-files-with-vhdmount.htm Windows server backup is limited, so you can think about 3rd party tools, also Windows server 2008 R2 is able to backup/restore folders.

The new 2008 server backup makes restoring the server simple, easy, painless. We had a MS update trash sharepoint, spent an hour with MS and they could not fix it, we do 4 2008 backups per day to a 2TB USB drive set (we rotate them). So, we inserted the 2008 DVD, booted to it, selected to restore, picked the date/time from the USB backup that we wanted, and let it run - 30 minutes later we had our server back online EXACTLY as it was a the time of the selected backup. For this one function alone I've moved all our servers and customers servers to 2008. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
