You are the systems administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. You install Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 on the network. You want to configure a backup schedule on all Windows EBS servers.
You are in the process of configuring backups on the Management Server. You want the Management Server to always perform a full backup.

A.
Click the Add features link in the Server Manager to install the Windows Server Backup feature.
B.
Click the Add roles link in the Server Manager to install the Windows Server Backup feature.
C.
Click the Backup Schedule link in Windows Server Backup snap-in, and configure the Backup Schedule Wizard.
D.
Click the Configure Performance Settings link in the Windows Server Backup snap-in, and configure the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box.
E.

Explanation:
You should click the Add features link in Server Manager to install Windows Server Backup and click the Configure Performance Settings link in the Windows Server Backup snap-in to configure the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box.
(Exhibit)In Windows Server 2008, Backup is an optional feature that can be used to back up and recover the operating system and to restore files and folders stored on the server. The Backup feature is not installed in Windows Server 2008, by default. You should run the Add Features Wizard from the Server Manager to install Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2008. You can configure your Windows Server 2008 to always perform full backup, always perform incremental backup, or selectively turn on the incremental or full backup on a per-volume basis. To achieve this, you should click the Configure Performance Settings link in the Windows Server Backup snap-in and configure the appropriate option in the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box:
The setting specified in the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box will apply to all backups that are performed on a server.
The Add roles link in the Server Manager cannot be used to install Windows Server Backup in Windows Server 2008. The Add roles link is used to add server roles, such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Domain Name System (DNS), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
You should not click the Backup Schedule link in Windows Server Backup snap-in and configure the Backup Schedule Wizard. The Backup Schedule Wizard is used to configure a scheduled backup. You can configure a scheduled backup to perform a full server backup or to back up only a selected volume. A scheduled backup can be configured to perform an incremental backup after performing a full backup. However, configuring a scheduled backup will require more administrative effort that selecting the Always perform full backup option in the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box.
You should not click the Backup once link in the Windows Server Backup snap-in and configure the Backup Once Wizard. The Backup Once Wizard is used to perform a manual backup. If you have performed a full backup of your server, you can configure the Backup Once Wizard to perform an incremental backup next time. To force your server to always perform either a full or an incremental backup, you should configure the Optimize Backup Performance dialog box.
