Joanne Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I prefer batch files because I can actually understand them!! Gonna test that now Also, apart from the 'NASBOX' you got my path right! HAH! Edited May 20, 2015 by Joanne

HAH! lol I removed the real names and just subbed in generic terms lol though that meant I removed about 4 characters lol one of which was a $ as that one was mapped to a microserver running win7
DCUK6 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Hi Joanne, Hows this going. Did you get it all setup? Weve got a 4tb drive to backup onto but server 2008 r2 backup doesn't support it so using robocopy at the minute. Just wondering if i can create a smaller VHD and mount that.
Joanne Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah it's all working apart from the script to auto-mount the VHD. I just need to remember to mount it myself. Recovery tested and working. 1
DCUK6 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Super thanks. Shame it cannot backup to multiple location in one schedule as that would be OMG good but this is still brilliant. Im thinking of setting up dfs on my second virtual server that currently holds a copy of files, that way both will have the most up to date data and i can have two scheduled nightly backups. Hardware is there already so wont cost anything. Either that or a robocopy on the second server that copies the data from the first and then runs the scheduled task. Might be safer as im a bit weary of DFS-R. Will have to draw a backup map as they will be going everywhere. Just encrypting one of my backup drives. 1% per hour. Edited June 23, 2015 by DCUK6
Joanne Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Extreme! I'm not too bad... just one server. It does a system state backup to a volume (which then gets backed up to the cloud) and then it does the bare metal backup of the server weekly and incrementals each night to the VHD on my NAS. So I think you can set up 2 backups from WSB...

edutech4schools Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Bit of topic - Don't forget that from server 2012r2 you can backup complete Vm's from the host (hyper-v) using WSB in a similar way to Veeme and taget an VHD file for multiple backup versions.
DCUK6 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 iirc it can you just have to script it Looked into this but it doesnt look like you can script incremental backups in WSB.
