Hello,<br />
<br />
I upgraded Backup Exec 9.0 for Windows Server to version 9.1.Prior to this upgrade one of the options available for my backup selections was System state which I selected.<br />
<br />
On upgrading to 9.1, I attempted to view the properties of my Backup job.I got following<br />
<br />
&quot;System State&quot; selected but not found on server.If server has been upgraded to Windows 2003 or later,remove selection and select shadow copy components to fully protect your server.<br />
<br />
I hit YES and now when I view selections for my backup job,<br />
<br />
Shadow copy components is selected + Service state but System state is not.<br />
<br />
If I select system state the message reappears when I view job properties.<br />
<br />
Can you please let me know the correct configuration for Backup Exec on server 2003.I<br />
<br />
It is essential to include system state in backup selections??<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Backing up System state in Windows Server 2003 using Backup Exec 9.1

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
