Guest ThomasAJ Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I know the backup utility in W2008 is not NTBACKUP. Anyway I connect a USB HD to W2008 that contains the W2003 backup - Disk Management sees it. I go into the W2008 backup utility, RECOVER/'Another server'/'Local drives'/ Then the 'Select backup location' screen appears but the Backup location drop-down box ONLY has the CD drive. This is strange as the description in the 'Select backup location' screen explicitly talks about "...an external disk attached to this server...". OK so if this new backup utility does not work for me can I install NTBACKUP to be used for recovery only? -- Regards Tom
Guest ThomasAJ Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 RE: How to restore some data created by NTBACKUP to W2008. OK - I should read HELP more often (often it is useless but not this time) - I quote below. "You cannot recover backups that you created with Ntbackup.exe by using Windows Server Backup (Wbadmin.exe). However, a version of Ntbackup.exe is available as a download for Windows Server 2008 users who want to recover data from backups that were created using Ntbackup.exe. The downloadable version of Ntbackup.exe is only for performing recoveries of legacy backups and cannot be used to create new backups on Windows Server 2008. To download this limited version of Ntbackup.exe, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=82917." -- Regards Tom "ThomasAJ" wrote: > I know the backup utility in W2008 is not NTBACKUP. > > Anyway I connect a USB HD to W2008 that contains the W2003 backup - Disk > Management sees it. > > I go into the W2008 backup utility, RECOVER/'Another server'/'Local drives'/ > Then the 'Select backup location' screen appears but the Backup location > drop-down box ONLY has the CD drive.
