Note: We are using Virtual Machines for this class. As such a full backup does not make sense from the Windows Server perspective. If we are doing a full backup of the machine we would perform that backup at the VM level with full backups, checkpoints or even cloud services. In this lab we will focus on data and configuration! You may find that previous lab write-up contain useful information. You may link to that information when appropriate. 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.

In your documentation wiki create a new page called "Disaster Recovery Plan". Make sure to include the following as '''pages'''. If you have questions about what to include or what to skip for each document ask me in class. == Steps to Complete ==

 1. "Disaster Recovery Solution Overview Document" (see p.1135 in 2016 text)
  1. Consider that we want to backup the Active Directory
  1. Consider that we want to backup data and configuration information for all services! (Good question: How would you recover DHCP configuration? Hint: Write a script!)
  1. Consider all services installed so far as critical.
  1. There are no SLAs at this time.
  1. Don't forget to estimate the internal staffing and resource assignment and utilization for deployment and ongoing utilization.
 1. Create links to your Enterprise Documentation (We have been creating this all along, but if you don't have it now, create it).
 1. Develop a Backup Strategy (See p. 1251 in text) You may do "cross backups" for now to other servers.
 1. Add a disk equal to your virtual machine equal in size to the C: drive. '''Do this with your virtual machine off!'''
 1. Boot your machine back up.
 1. Follow the steps below in Powershell

{{{!#highlight powershell
Add-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup

$policy = New-WBPolicy
Add-WBSystemState -Policy $policy
$volumes = Get-WBVolume -CriticalVolumes
$disks = Get-WBDisk
#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)
$target = New-WBBackupTarget -Disk $disks[1]
Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $target
Set-WBSchedule -Policy $policy -Schedule "03:00" # do set your different to be between 1 and 3 AM.
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.

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

{{{!#highlight powershell Add-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup

$policy = New-WBPolicy Add-WBSystemState -Policy $policy $volumes = Get-WBVolume -CriticalVolumes $disks = Get-WBDisk #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) $target = New-WBBackupTarget -Disk $disks[1] Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $target Set-WBSchedule -Policy $policy -Schedule "03:00" # do set your different to be between 1 and 3 AM. Set-WBPolicy -Policy $policy # answer yes to format the drive. }}}
