I am new to SBS. The old sys admin claims that the native back up app,
Windows Server Backup has never worked. He claimed to have followed the
development threads and ended up installing a 3rd party solution, which now
no longer works.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kurt

I have used SBS 2008 backup, which is completely different than all
previous versions, to back the entire server to a USB drive and then
restore that backup to the server after wiping it - complete restore,
worked perfectly as it was backed-up. I have done this type of backup
and restore dozens of times for numbers of clients, worked fine each
time.

Leythos is correct
SBS2008 (there currently is no R2version)
But the backup works great.

It works so good I wish there was a way to Port it back to SBS2003

Get a dedicated 1TB or So External USB (Preferred eSATA or Firewire)
Connected to your SBS2008 server
Run the backup configuration and start a backup
the first backup will take a while, but next ones just does changes.

If being a Sys Admin is not really part of your job description.
I suggest finding someone to have a quick look over on your server.

Saying the Backup Doesn't work on SBS2008
May be an indication of some other issues.

If the backup doesn't configure or work.
Post back with the errors
Russ
