General Tips
Only Administrators or
Backup Operators can perform backups
and restores.Other backup options like compression may be available, depending on
the type of backup device installed on your system.Scheduled backup jobs appear in the Scheduled
Tasks folder in the Control Panel and can be run
immediately, deleted, or configured there. In order to schedule
backups, the Task Scheduler service must be running (it is by
default).
Backing Up to CD-R/RW
You can't use the
Backup utility to back up directly to
CD-R or CD-RW drives. A workaround is to back up to a file and then
use the CD-burning capability of WS2003 to write the file to CD as
follows:Insert blank writable CD into CD-R drive
Restoring System State
If you can't restore your
system
state, boot to Safe Mode and try again.If you plan to restore system state data, be aware that the restore
process overwrites the existing configuration information on your
server, so if you restore from an old backup set, you lose any
configuration changes made since that set was made.To restore system state data on a domain controller, you must use the
Advanced Options menu to start the computer in Directory Services
Restore Mode.
