Windows Server Backup

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012

Windows Server Backup is a feature in Windows Server 2008 that provides a set of wizards and other tools for you to perform basic backup and recovery tasks for the server it is installed on. This feature has been redesigned and introduces new technology. The previous backup feature (Ntbackup.exe) that was available with earlier versions of Windows has been removed.
