Lab 10 Disaster Recovery Plan

Note: We are using Virtual Machines for this class. As such a full backup to a separate disk is not necessary. However, we are going to practice doing this as we would with a physical machine.

Steps to Complete

  1. Add a disk equal to your virtual machine equal in size to the C: drive. Do this with your virtual machine off!

  2. Boot your machine back up.
  3. Follow the steps below in Powershell

   1 Add-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup
   2 
   3 $policy = New-WBPolicy
   4 Add-WBSystemState -Policy $policy
   5 $volumes = Get-WBVolume -CriticalVolumes
   6 Add-WBVolume -Policy $policy -Volume $volumes
   7 $disks = Get-WBDisk
   8 #You can view $disks to see which one can be used as a backup disk. It should be "Disk 1" (disk 0 is your C: drive)
   9 $target = New-WBBackupTarget -Disk $disks[1]
  10 Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $target
  11 Set-WBSchedule -Policy $policy  -Schedule "03:00" # do set your different to be between 1 and 3 AM.
  12 Set-WBPolicy -Policy $policy # answer yes to format the drive.

In your documentation wiki create a new page called "Disaster Recovery Plan".

  1. Document your backup strategy. E.g. list the things that are being backed up, where they are being backed up to and when.
