What is Server Backup?
A Server backup is a copy of information from a server to a backup medium such as a disk drive or tape. These backup types can be bare metal or file-based.
Bare metal backups copy the boot and sys volumes of the bootable partition into a single file. If the OS crashed on that server, it would be able to be completely recovered by writing a bare metal image on the replacement drive or volume. Bare metal is based on block level transfers and will back up the MBR, Partition Table, File Systems, Operating Systems, Applications, Security, and File Attributes.
File-based backups allow you to select all or a portion of the server's data at a file level. This allows you to perform Master and Incremental backups on a regularly scheduled basis. Restoration of file-based backups also allows you to select all or a portion of the backup to restore. This is useful when only a single file or small group of files are required for restore.
