...IS3340 7/21/14 How to Back Up and Restore Data on Windows Backing up your files is one of the most important things you can do to safeguard the data you create and store on your computer. To this end, Microsoft included a full backup and restore utility with Windows 7. Here’s how it works. Backing Up First you need to launch Windows' Backup and Restore utility. You will find it in the Control Panel by selecting first System and Security and then Backup and Restore. If you have never used this tool before, you'll see a message under 'Backup' that says 'Windows Backup has not been set up'. Click the link labeled Set up backup to the right of that message. After the program starts, it will prompt you to choose a location for it to store your backup files in. Windows won't let you choose your main hard drive as a backup drive; so if you haven’t already plugged in your external hard drive, do it now and click Refresh. After you've chosen the drive that you want to use for your backup, the program will ask you to identify what you want to back up. The default selection is to let Windows choose for you, and create a disk image at the same time. You can be much more selective, however, by clicking the radio button next to Let me choose. Once you've chosen what you want to back up, and where you want Windows to store it, the program will display a backup summary screen that confirms the options you selected. Before you run your backup, though, you'll probably want to take...

...install the Windows Server Backup feature from the Server Manager console. To perform backups from the command line, you will also need to install Windows PowerShell. Windows Server Backup supports the use of the disk drives as backup destinations. Windows Server 2008 supports two types of backup: • Manual backup: This type of backup can be initiated by using Server Backup or the Wbadmin.exe command-line tool when a backup is needed. You must be a member of the Administrators group or the Backup Operators group to launch a manual backup. • Scheduled backup: Members of the local Administrators group can schedule backups using the Windows Server Backup utility or the Wbadmin.exe command-line tool. Scheduled backups will reformat the desired drive that hosts the backup files, and can only be performed on a local physical drive that does not have any critical volumes. With all this taken into consideration I would perform a manual backup every time a major change is taking place and then use a scheduled backup every month to make sure every small change is saved and is not over looked. When a domain has multiple domain controllers, the Active Directory database is replicated within each domain controller. Windows Server 2008 allows several different restoration methods, depending on the goals for your restore. Wbadmin, is the command-line component of the Windows Server Backup snap-in, which restores a single Active Directory domain controller to its state before the backup. This...

...to determine the backup frequency of the data for your project's retail store. In order to determine the backup frequency for my chosen retail organization’s data, I would do the following. First, I would analyze the data’s change rate. The change rate is the frequency at which changes occur in the data, and understanding this frequency will help me determine how often I need to back up my data to avoid critical information loss (LinkedIn Community, n.d.). For my chosen retail organization, the change rate is very high. Then, I would analyze the backup storage capacity. The backup storage capacity is the amount of storage that can be dedicated to backups, and knowing...

...For the small business that I started I would use the Windows Server Backup tool. Windows Server Backup is a disk-to-disk backup solution that allows you to create backup images on direct-attached disk volumes, on network shares, and even on external USB hard drives and multi-volume recordable DVDs. Windows Server Backup is volume- and block-based and also deals with its backup source as a set of volumes, with each volume as a collection of disk blocks. This is considerably more efficient than backing up files through the file system. Dealing with backups on a block basis also allows Windows Server Backup to make use of Volume Shadow Copy Service snapshots to perform block-level incremental backups, as well as to create snapshots on the target volume to simplify the use of (and reduce the space used by) multiple backups. I would also use the MMC in Server Backup to simplify scheduling of daily full-system backups to a local disk volume. As far as recovery is concerned, I would restore the Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) database to an earlier state, rather than restore the entire system. Even though I can stop AD DS like a service in Windows Server 2008, I would still need to boot the server into Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) to perform a system state restore on a domain controller. As far as monitoring goes the MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager) system would be fully employed. The role the MOM gathers computer attribute information and applies specific...

...Study Guide for Windows Security Final IS3340 1. Many current operating systems actually implement microkernel architecture. Microkernel only implements the minimal required. Processes generally run in either user mode or supervisor mode. 2. The process of providing and denying access is called access control. Access control is multi step process starting with Identification and authentication. Three authentication types are type I, II, and III 3. User rights define the tasks that user is permitted to carry out, such as take ownership of objects or shutdown the computer. Permissions define what a user can do to a specific object such as read or delete the object. 4. This functionality has matured into a core Windows feature called, Active Directory this allows users and groups to be defined once and shared among multiple computers. 5. The main feature of Microsoft Active Directory is the ability to define identity and Authorization permission that can be shared among multiple computers within one or more domains. 6. The principal of providing the just the necessary access required to carry out a task is called the principal of least privilege or LUAs. 7. Access Models: Identification, Authentication, Authorization, ACL’s and Security Access Token (SAT). 8.
