Bert,
By BERT (Me, I don't like the APP on the server, so I install AC to the system drive, move the databases to the data drive, then delete AC.)
So do you backup both the system drive and data drive on your server? If you do, how?(When the server is SBS 2008)
PS: Excuse the colored lettering, dont know how to do the original post box.
The most important drive, by far, to back up is the data drive. You can always install the OS again. But, while I back up the data more often, it is good to have full backups so one can restore the entire server and save a lot of time and settings.
There are a couple of ways to have both. One is to have two separate drives via RAID or just separate hard drives. If you just have one hard drive you can divide it into up to four partitions, the first being the primary partition for the OS and the rest being logical partitions all residing in an extended partition.
So, basically, one drive, partitioned into system OS and data drive. Since, these will likely be labeled as C and D drives, your backup software can be programmed to back up only C, only D or both.
To quote people, just click on Quick Quote. I generally use that over Quote -- don't know why.
