I’ve been working with the windows backup. One downside of this in Windows 2008 is that you can’t schedule a routine backup job to a network device. A work around is use a scheduled task and the WBAdmin<\/a> tool.<\/p>\n

Scheduled Task:<\/strong> (Create a scheduled task and us the following switches)<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:\\\\server\\backup$\\ -vssFull -allCritical -quiet<\/pre>\n
This command will backup the entire drive including a system image. I don’t think the “allcritical” will work if you then specify items to exclude.<\/p>\n
Show Backups Running:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Wbadmin get status<\/pre>\n
Full list of switches: cc742083<\/a><\/p>\n
Windows Backup email notification when complete:<\/strong><\/p>\n
To improving this backup job I also created a scheduled task to email notification that the job is complete.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Create new “Basic Scheduled Task”<\/li>\n
  2. Name:\u00a0Windows Backup Notification | Description:\u00a0 Will send email notification when the windows backup is complete.<\/li>\n
  3. Trigger: When a specific event is logged<\/li>\n
  4. Log: Microsoft Windows Backup Operation | Source: Backup | EventID: 4<\/li>\n
  5. Send an Email<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    From: backup@mydomain.com
    \nTo: alerts@mydomain.com
    \nSubject: Backup Notification Complete – Windows Server Backup on Server-DC1
    \nThis is an action Notification. Windows Backup is complete on Server-DC1 – EventID4
    \nSMTP: mail.mydomain.com
