Back up the DC server with Windows Server Backup

First, create users

Because we are using shared backup and the particularity of Windows Server 2008 R2, we need to create a user with the same name and password on the domain with the same permissions as the target shared directory, otherwise the account password will be wrong when creating the backup plan.

1. Click "start menu"-"Active Directory users and computers", and create a "user" with the same name and password in the "server farm" with the same permissions as the target shared directory.

Enter the same password as the target shared directory permissions

Click "finish"

Add it to the Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, Schema Admins group

Creation completed

Second, install Windows Server Backup function

Open the server manager and right-click "Features"-"add Features"

Select "Windows Server Backup" and click "next"

Click "install"

Installing

Installation is complete, click "close"

Third, create a backup plan

1. Run Windows Server Backup in the start menu, and click "backup Plan"

Click "next"

Because DC can only back up the entire server, select "entire server" and click "next"

Specify the backup time and click "next"

Select backup to shared network folder and click next

Prompt that the new backup will overwrite the old backup, click OK

Enter the sharing path and click "next"

Enter the account and password with all permissions of the sharing path. This account and password must be the same as the domain account password created in step 1

Check it correctly, click "finish"

After the backup plan has been created, click "close"
