WHS 2011 - server on the partition backup?

Can anyone offer some advice please?

I have a server running the 2011 WHS, for years, that I've been running with 2x2TB mirrored drives, SSD for the OS a 250GB for Server backup and a Bay empty.

Yesterday, I removed the 250 GB drive and fitted with 2 drives of 2 TB more.

I had planned to partition them the two 1.8/0.2 using one of 200 GB as a backup of Server partitions and the 1.8 in sense reverse for data storage.

WHS seems to want to use the entire 2 TB as a backup server, which is not only a waste of space, but let me not able to put my other mirrored drive.

Is it possible to use a partition as a backup server?

Do I still need a backup server, if I cloned my SSD on the old 250 GB drive every 6 months for the recovery after a disaster that would be good enough, I kept only the SSD in my backup of server in any case the other disks are mirrored.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Satellite L350-170: creating the image of the partition backup system

    New here so first of all, Hello to all.

    Need some advice if possible please.
    I just got a new laptop L350-170 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I went thro' the installation process and created with the program toshiba recovery disks but also make the thro' the post.

    What I want to do now is create an image of the full backup ' c' drive now that I have installed additional programs and adjust settings to get the laptop how I want it.

    I've tried acronis true image, but laptop won't boot from the restore cd, even tho ' cd/dvd is set in the bios as "first boot.
    Says it can't find the "boot partition" and assume that it is something with the toshiba restore program not be circumvented.

    Is there a 'ghost' type program that will allow me to create an image, and then start the disk in order to restore everything from the created image and therefore not lose everything I installed carefully?

    I suppose that, if I try to use the toshiba program once again, it will only reproduce the original installation.
    I hope someone can advise.

    TIA

    Hello!

    The Toshiba recovery disc sets only the laptop back to the factory settings. It s not a program backup like Acronis, but with the recovery disc you have installation of Windows with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

    What version of Acronis True Image do you use? I use version 11 and I have no problem on my laptops and PCs. It works perfectly.
    Maybe you should do a update.

    Have you set the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI or compatible? Maybe you need a driver SATA when you have defined it AHCI, but I think in its new version of Acronis you t need a n.

    I hope I could help a bit and if you have problems, make me know it.

    Good bye

  • Delete the partition backup - install WIN media with key?

    Hello!

    My acer backup partition is removed. However, I backed up the key from the BIOS before you remove it. Can I download ISO 10 win from Microsoft and install it with the same key?

    If this is not the case, how do around him? I have a legitimate key/purchase, but the system partition backup original is deleted.

    Thanks for the update. Looks like you will have to re - install windows 8.1 first using the links I gave you.  Good luck.

  • Best used to move some Photos of WHS V1 WHS 2011

    Current configuration of Lightroom:

    -Lightroom 3 on client PC

    -Photo exercise on the client computer for fast performance

    -Posted photos (20 +) on WHS V1

    -Same catalog includes pictures on the client PC and WHS V1

    Desired installation of Lightroom:

    -Same as above with pictures of previous years on newly built WHS 2011

    How do the desired configuration? The newly built 2011 WHS build WHS v1, so I won't be able to have both systems at the same time. I copied all the pictures of the previous year to an external hard drive.

    I can just build the WHS 2011 system, copy the photos on the new server and tell LR how to find pictures on the new server?

    I wouldn't mess my catalog.

    The tips are greatly appreciated.

    I just did what you suggest about a month ago.  He moved forward without any problems after the upgrade. FWIW, I don't miss Drive Extender at all since I lost some files to it in the past.  He played also never really well with the Microsoft Synctoy utility.  I am much happier with individual readers saved automatically every night on an external drive...

    Hello

    Using the SBS Server 2011 standard backup utility, it doesn't seem to be a way to add an additional backup to the existing backup disk without adding new all disks at the same time, which translates into all current backups are deleted.
    Is it possible to add an additional drive or replace a faulty, without erasing all current backups?

  • Recommended specification of the system for WHS 2011?

    I have one of the first generations of the HP Mediasmart Home Server, and I want to upgrade to WHS 2011 when it comes out later in the year.
    Given that HP is not the hardware for WHS business, I just buy a 'normal' computer and installation of WHS 2011.
    I know that the graphics card will obviously not a problem, but someone has any suggestions on what I should look for wise card for a good experience continuous?
    Also, I have about 2 TB total in my current WHS, so I was thinking about buying another 2 TB drive, copy everything on it and then by installing the other disks in the new box for extra storage.
    Of course, calling into question, if there is enough internal connectors for additional discs (I think I have 3 internal external and 1 on my current WHS).
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It is obviously for storage of data, a hard drive fat is important. Reliable hardware is also a good thing. I would say as minimum specifications: dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM or more, 70 GB of HARD drive.

  • How to make the partition of Seagate backup so the Macbook Air?

    I just bought a Macbook Air 13' 2015, I have a seagate external hard drive backup 1 TB plus all my files in it, coming from windows PC and I switch to Mac, when I try to make a partition in disk utility, I can't select an option for partition, its greyed, but I can read/write because of the Paragon for Mac OS driver I want just a partition on my mac with Time Machine backup, but I can't use my external drive for Time Machine it will erase everything on my external hard drive. Thank you

    Unless you need to keep the Windows files you put on the disk and copied to the computer, then I suggest that you simply re - prepare the drive for use on Mac. Because the drive has been formatted on a Windows system you cannot partition via the Mac. But you can re-prep. disk using the partition scheme GUID for the two partitions and format of one of them for MS-DOS or ExFAT using Windows. But as I said earlier, if you do not need to use Windows and want to use for the backup on the Mac, then he prep exclusively for Mac. Use Time Machine backup requires a volume that is at least 2 or 3 times the capacity of the computer HARD drive.

    Drive partition and format

    1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
    2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
    3. Click on the Partition or delete tab in the toolbar utility of disc that is activated. If both are enabled, then choose clear.
    4. Adjustable circular diagram to set the number of partitions if you want more than one. Otherwise leave the default of one.
    5. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    6. Click on the apply button and wait for the fact button to activate.
    7. Quit disk utility.

  • Backup hard drives internal and external to separate the partitions on an external drive of a second... ?

    I want to back up an internal hard drive (let's call it 'A') and (B) external drive using Time Machine. Both are 1 TB in size, so I bought a 2 TB external drive and created two partitions (C and D) on this subject, only to receive each backup. So:

    A = internal hard drive

    B = external drive (for "overflow" files)

    C = partition to external drive for backups of A

    D = partition to external drive for backups of B

    My question is, can I set up Time Machine so that A back up C, every time the 2 TB drive is connected, and B backup up to D whenever the two external drives are connected? I thought it would be possible, but at the opening of the Time Machine preferences and selecting D for the first time I get a message saying:

    "You want to stop backup up to 'C' and use"D"instead or back up at the same time?

    If you use the two, Time Machine will take turns backup up to "C" and "D". »

    I wonder if it would just be easier to return to a single partition on the hard disk of 2 TB and have the time machine to perform a backup of everything, that is, both A and B?

    Last question: I'm doing this to improve Yosemite to El Capitan. the operating system affect what I'm trying to get time Machine to do?

    Thank you!

    I have a non-partitioned device TM backup of your data and your OS disk at once

    If in case you partition and drive "B" needs more than what is on the partition and drive 'A' don't you avoid warning.

    update of the OS is fine, as it will give an output back to a previous TM operating system where you need it, but it is compatible across versions.

  • Question about backup of the partition on the Qosmio G20

    Hi everyone, I was wondering is it possible to get the backup of your hard drive or the partition on qosmio g20? I tried the real picture, and ghost, but they could not get access to the qosmio scsi disks, when I ve checked toshibas recovery dvd I saw it is changed the version of norton ghost, so they must be necessary loading drivers on the start time of recovery disc, because I install a lot of software and change the config. I want to save my disk hard once everything is done.
    can anyone help?

    Hello

    Some time ago, I did some ghosting of Toshiba laptops, I have never had any problems. Perhaps there may be conflicts, if you are using RAID technology, or the Qosmio player on the first HARD disk area hurts.

    Sorry I can't give you more help.
    Good luck!

  • User logged on the server over the RDP session - Small Business Server 2011 x 64

    We have a Small Business Server 2011 standard x 64.  We have the configuration of the remote desktop on port forwarding in the firewall to allow a user to connect to this server using RDP remote desktop.  This isn't a server terminal server.  No, there are no available Remote Desktop Manager settings.

    When the user connects through the RDP application and connects to the server.  If the users session is idle for 15 minutes, the user is connected to the server (not disconnected the RDP session, just to connect to the server).  The user must log into the server every time that happens.  We tried adjusting the Remote Desktop Session Host settings and changed the Session time limits, but this isn't the parameter we are looking for.  We have looked extensively through the default domain group policy and see nothing active to this behavior.  We examined local group policies and studied the session time limits in the user and computer configuration > policies > models Admin > RDP >... session host and it is has anything configured here which could trigger this behavior.

    Yet once, it connects the disabled user, not closing the remote session.  We have also examined the user account for this user and looked for resume posting require logon settings (although with SBS, it is not even there to adjust the display settings).  I had partner Microsoft supports focus on this during one hour (he didn't use too much of my time to support) and they have been unable to resolve within an hour.

    Help, please!

  • Why whs 2011 installation gets stuck to copy Windows files on the HARD drive?

    I try to install WHS 2011 OEM on a HP EX470 software.  I have tried about 30 times without supervision and welfare facilities in the past 4 months and am very frustrated that I can't succeed and purchase the software was a waste of time and money.  I tried 4 hard drives, properly formatted capacity of 250 GB to 2 TB.  EX470 has the original 1620 AMD processor and 2 GB RAM upgraded and qualifies for the upgrade to a 64-bit system.

    Problem with installation assistance tries: Installation says "Copying Windows files", but after a variable time in hours of waiting, growth remains at 0% and finally says "error in installation.  Try to restart the installation.  Same thing happens with the help of the DVD, or by using a Sandisk Cruser formatted and made bootable 16 GB flash drive with a file cfg.ini the instructions online and also tried without the cfg.ini file.
    Problem with unattended installation attempts:  Process completely blind.  Does not install even if left for 24 hours.  Cannot decipher the flashing lights on the Flash drive and thereafter, no installation nor evidence of partial installation is visible on check the hard drive on another computer.  I suppose that the same thing as the installation attempts assisted.
    Looked for solutions online for 4 months, but nobody does the problem of Windows not to copy the files to the HARD disk during installation and what goes wrong.
