You are the systems administrator for your company. You migrate from Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 to Windows Essential Business Server 2008. A server named EBS1 is configured as the Management Server. You want to restore a backup named ConfigData.bkf that was created on SBS 2003 to EBS1.
What should you do?
A.
Install the Windows Server Backup feature on EBS1.
B.
Install the Ntbackup.exe utility on EBS1.
C.
Use System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM).
D.
Use the Wbadmin.exe utility on EBS1.
Explanation:
You should install the Ntbackup.exe utility on EBS1. Windows SBS 2003 uses the Windows Backup or Ntbackup.exe utility for backup and restore. A backup created with the Ntbackup.exe utility cannot be restored by using the Windows Server Backup utility available in Windows Server 2008. However, a version of the Ntbackup.exe utility is available as a download from Microsoft that can be installed on a computer running Windows Server 2008 to recover data from backups created by using the Ntbackup.exe utility. The downloadable version of the Ntbackup.exe utility can only be used to recover backups for older versions of Windows, and cannot be used to create new backups in Windows Server 2008.
You should not install the Windows Server Backup feature on EBS1 because a backup created with the Ntbackup.exe utility cannot be restored by using the Windows Server Backup utility available in Windows Server 2008.
You should not use System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM). System Center DPM 2007 is a server software application that can be used for disk-based and tape-based data protection and recovery for computers in and across Active Directory domains. However, a backup file in the .bkf format or in a backup tape created with the Ntbackup.exe utility is a proprietary format that can only be read by the Ntbackup.exe utility. Therefore, you should download and install the Ntbackup.exe utility on EBS1.
You should not use the Wbadmin.exe utility on EBS1. Wbadmin.exe is a command-line utility included in Windows Server Backup that allows you to perform all the tasks at a command prompt that can be performed by using the Windows Server Backup snap-in. The Windows Server Backup utility and the Wbadmin.exe utility are optional features in Windows Server 2008 that are installed when you install Windows Server 2008. These utilities must be installed by using the Add Feature Wizard before they can be used.
