Has anyone used the regular means of archiving the system on a Windows server?

Question

Windows Server

Good day! Does anyone back up the Win server for system data archiving? Back up the system itself, so that in the event of a rally, everything could be quickly restored? I practiced this on users' system files, everything was restored perfectly, the system worked without problems on the same hardware, unlike the same acronis, this is at least a free method and takes the image itself many times less. And does it make sense to back up the server system?

Answer 1

Well, if the system backup works, then why not use it? :-)
The server system should definitely be backed up. Because if suddenly something - will be able to speed up the recovery process.

Answer 2

On one of the servers I make bare metal recovery built-in.
Testing (booting from the installation flash drive \ cd and restoring from a backup made every evening) goes well.
