Every admin should make backups. That's just a fact. But what backup software should we use? Many administrators look for a third-party backup solution, however Windows Server ships with a solid and built-in solution - Windows Server Backup (the entirely new face of NTBackup).
To install backup functionality in Windows Server 2008 R2, go to Server Manager - Features, and select Windows Server Backup Features with additional components - Windows Server Backup (core files for backup functionality) and Command-Line tools (for Powershell support scripts).
