My question is should the WSUS database (SUSDB.mdf &amp;&nbsp;Log) be backed up as part of my routine backup strategy?<br />
<br />
Is there any thing in this database that can not be rebuilt if my server goes down and I need to rebuild it?<br />
<br />
Also, there is an entire directory called WSUS on the hard drive, does this folder and all it contains need to be backed up too?<br />

WSUS Database Backup - Yes or No?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
