Windows Server Backup
Windows Server Backup
(OP)
I have tried to find the answer to this question elsewhere, but can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. I've got a customer with a Server 2012 Essentials. I'm doing a backup to a dedicated external hard drive. I set it up for daily and then edited the scheduled task to make it once a week.
It says I have 46 backups using 136GB of space. The external drive is 2TB. If you add up the C: and E: drives, it's about 73GB of data per backup. So, are the backups being pruned OR are the backups incremental? If incremental, is there any way to force a full backup each time? Picture attached.
I'd like to know what to expect in an emergency situation if I had to do a bare metal restore. Thanks!

Trouble with that is the client will still blame you for the disaster.
Best one I have.... Nasty client will not take my advice. I loose the client because he thinks I am creating work for myself by sabotaging machines, totally untrue, but the guy is so nasty to everyone I did not care, I was glad.
Anyway his server crashed, no backup. It took multiple people 3 months solid to recreate the data on paper. I was told it filled an entire storage room to the ceiling.... could not have happened to a more deserving person.
