The backup process in Windows 2008 server has taken a significant step forward in terms of usability from the Automated System Recovery (ASR) process of Windows 2003/XP and even more so when compared to the legacy NTbackup.exe process of yesteryear. The new backup process integrates into the server manager console. When you first open it up it immediately shows you a listing of all recent backups for the server. The available actions to perform have also been greatly simplified and streamlined. You are given the choice between performing the backup immediately, scheduling a backup, or performing a restore.
