Backup Strategy

Backup Strategy I am thinking of scripting together a automated backup script which will do a "system state" backup along with the normal data backup.

"From this ServerFault question, a system state backup contains:

System Registry
COM + Database
Certificate Services
Active Directory
SysVol
IIS Metabase

Some of these may not be included if you do not have the specified service installed.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, you may want to consider these easier options of performing a system state backup."

"you'll need much more than the MBR and the registry for a ""system state"" backup.

system files might get corruped and or infected. in this case, restoring only the registry or the master boot record won't do you much good.

you may revise your backup strategy, an 'automated' backup for the entire system bears the risk of trashing a perfectly good backup with infected or corruped files.

my recommendation: EASEUS Todo Backup is a FREE data backup software and disaster recovery solutions help you back up hard disk drive, system, partitions, files, etc."
