system state
I have used a windows 2003 server for many years. I used ntbackup to backup the system state. How do I backup the system state on a windows 2008 R2 server?

To create a system state backup by using Wbadmin start systemstatebackup
1.To open a command prompt with elevated privileges, click Start , right-click Command Prompt , and then click Run as administrator .
2.At the prompt, type:
wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:<VolumeName>
This also works for Server 2012.
In addition, any decent up to date 3rd party backup software should give you the option as well.

If you are not comfortable with Powershell, you can also do this from the GUI as well. The link below outlines how to do Perform a System State Backup and Recovery.

Thanks Will. That worked. Here is another question. If I take the bare metal backup and I have a total server failure will I be able to restore from this full backup?
Forgot to ask. If I schedule a system state backup for every day at 3am will it overwrite the previous backup or will it keep adding backups? I want it to delete the previous backup and only keep 1.
I did and it was years ago. We were using BackupExec and I had bootable media that could access the tape drive and it worked just fine.
One word of advice I would give, don't wait to try this when you HAVE to, try it when you WANT to.
Way back then we didn't have virtual machines and it was a non-profit so there was no lab.
Take your backup and do a restore on a test system to make sure you have everything you need if/when you have to implement this.
The process will go much smoother and your users will be down much less time.
