How to Create Bare Metal Recovery Image in Windows Server 2019

[@JCRMatos]

Love your videos. Please consider doing one video showing how to use the BMR to restore a server and another video on how to use the AD backup from last video to recover a corrupted AD. Continue the good work.

Thank you for your video! I just received a Dell with UEFI partitions. It looks like Windows Server Backup does not support these partitions. Is there a fix?

[@alexlora6009]

So, when i use this build in app of windows, i cannot copy/paste the image to a nas or sam for store??

[@LuigiGaudino]

Thanks so much for your videos! Some questions : - How often do you recommend doing a Bare Metal Recovery Image? - If I schedule the backup automatically, is the old one overwritten, or does it fill the disk with various versions until it is full? Thank you

I agree with Mr. Matos: BM restore would be good. And if you don't have original media, can you do similar to Windows 10 and create 'recovery media?' I am dealing with a family member who has a small office, Windows 2019 Essentials; only 20 workstations; and your video was very useful - thank you! An even better subject would be: "How to use existing scheduled task in a customized setup for retaining multiple backups." For example: If I use the BM backup method you mention; then it will overwrite the backup each night. A very good enhancement would be to have a script that invokes the scheduled backup task each night; then, IF the backup is successful; it renames the "WindowsImageBackup" folder with day, date & time as part of the folder name. I am, of course, using "Volume-based" backup, instead of "Dedicated Backup Drive;" not because I don't want to dedicate the drive; but volume-based backup already will have a "drive letter" and allows more flexibility, like what I am discussing above - retain multiple backup copies; and rename and/or overwrite them only at certain intervals; i.e., when I reach the 10th backup, then overwrite the oldest, etc. This way, since I have a large storage device (well, 4TB - large for my case); then I can retain 10 +/- copies at about 300 GB each, with a bit of room to spare. This is exactly what some of the 3rd party backup tools do: they simply put a "multi-copy retention UI" on top of the image/bare-metal backup/shadow abilities that already exist (CommVault, NetBackup, etc.). Thanks again for the wonderful video and information!

How do you create a BMR to a DVD or USB instead of the server?

[@gowiththeflow7831]

If i do a backup once by selecting BMR and save it on a external disk...can i remove the external disk after the backup is done.. ?

[@duramax0103]

Thank you for video. Can you do a video on recovery image from a network folder. Schedule the backup image file to a network folder and restore from folder.

[@valentinchiriac9117]

Once selected Backup Once, you have 2 options: Scheduled Backup Options and D I F F E R R E N T Options. That's why. Different than of making the backup on a dedicated HDD.

Thank you! very usefull

[@MSFTWebCast]

Glad to hear that!

[@yyzalex168]

Trying to create a BMR image on a USB external HDD. This drive does not show up on " show all available drives" option. The drive shows up on other laptops and computers. Am I not doing something correct ? I followed your video to the T. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

[@MSFTWebCast]

Do you have any other data or partition in that Disk? The backup process will format the disk during BMR creation process. Make sure disk is clean.

[@yyzalex168]

@@MSFTWebCast Sir thank you for your reply and thank you for your videos. It is a blank HDD. No data. But it will not show up on the the list of available drives. I will try to connect it directly to the mother board and try. I will keep you posted.

[@MSFTWebCast]

@@yyzalex168 Use disk part command line utility and clean the disk. Be careful, you select the correct disk. Make sure that you select the external disk and clean it. If you dont know the steps, let me know.

[@yyzalex168]

@@MSFTWebCast Sir I watched your video again and then I discovered something. I had set 2 4TB HDD in raid. It was defaulting to save the images in the raid drives. Once I removed the RAID HDDs it defaulted to my external drives to save the image. My server OS is installed on a SSD. I am using GPT. Thank you again for the wonderful videos and the time to answer my questions. Much appreciate all your help.

[@mohamedjaffar284]

If the server is fully crashed,the bare metal backup helps to restore it. Which we were used last.

[@MSFTWebCast]

Yes, you can use bare metal backup to restore your server from fully crashed.
