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
Add a disk equal to your virtual machine equal in size to the C: drive. Do this with your virtual machine off!
- Boot your machine back up.
- 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".
- Document your backup strategy. E.g. list the things that are being backed up, where they are being backed up to and when.
