How to backup and restore on Windows Server?

To backup and restore on Windows Server, you can use the built-in Windows Server Backup feature. Here’s how you can do it:

Backup:

1. Open Windows Server Backup: You can search for it in the Start menu.
2. Create a Backup: Choose the option to create a basic backup. You can select the volumes you want to backup, such as the system state and critical volumes.
3. Schedule Backups: You can set up a schedule for regular backups to ensure your data is always protected.

Example: If you want to backup your system state and the C: drive daily at 2 AM, you would configure the backup job with these settings.

Restore:

1. Start Windows Server Backup: Open the tool again.
2. Select Restore: Choose the option to restore files and volumes.
3. Choose Backup: Select the backup from which you want to restore data. You can browse through the backups available.
4. Restore Data: Follow the prompts to select the specific files or volumes you want to restore.

Example: If your C: drive fails and you need to restore it from a previous backup, you would select the backup that includes the C: drive and proceed with the restore process.

For enhanced backup and restore capabilities, especially in a cloud environment, you might consider using services like Tencent Cloud's Cloud Block Storage (CBS) or Tencent Cloud's Object Storage (COS) for more scalable and flexible storage solutions. These services offer robust backup and recovery features that can be integrated with your Windows Server environment.
