Explanation:
You should install the Windows Server Backup feature on all the Windows EBS servers. In Windows Server 2008, the Windows Server Backup is an optional feature that backs up and recovers the operating system, and restores files and folders that are stored on the server. The Windows Server Backup feature is not installed with 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 or Windows EBS 2008.You should not install System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 on one of the Windows EBS servers. 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, installing System Center DPM 2007 would incur additional costs.
You should not install the Ntbackup.exe utility on all the Windows EBS servers. Windows Backup or the Ntbackup.exe utility is available in versions of Windows operating system released prior to Windows Vista. A downloadable version of this utility is available that can be installed on Windows Server 2008, but it can only be used for recovering backups created by using the Ntbackup.exe utility and cannot be used to create new backups in Windows Server 2008.
You should not log on to the server using an account that is a member of the Administrators group because this will not ensure that the Windows Backup utility is available on the server. To make the Windows Server Backup utility available on the server, you must first install it with the Add Features Wizard from the Server Manager snap-in. Members of the Backup Operators group or the Administrators group can use this utility.
