Backing Up Your System
The following information replaces the "System-State Backup" and "Backing Up System-State
Data" sections of the Administrator's Guide.
System-State Backup
Backing up the system state allows you to recover the system if an operating system reinstallation is
required. Restoring your system state restores customized settings, such as user information and
share information.
System-state data includes the following:
•
Registry
•
COM+ class registration database
•
System boot files
•
Users and groups information
•
Share configuration data
To ensure that all share information is preserved, back up the following folders (if they exist):
–
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data
–
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
–
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data
–
C:\Documents and Settings\SYSTEM\Application Data
For more information, see the online help for Windows 2003 Backup and Recovery Tools.
Backing Up System-State Data
Dell recommends that you regularly back up your system state.
NOTE:
Backing up your system-state data does not back up HTTP share data.
To back up system-state data, perform the following steps:
1 Log in to the NAS Manager as an administrator.
See "Logging in to the NAS Manager" in the "NAS Manager" section of the Administrator's
Guide.
2 Click Maintenance.
3 Click Remote Desktop and log into the NAS system.
NOTE:
The default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.
4 On the NAS system, click the System State Backup icon on the desktop.
5 In the Backup Wizard window, click Next.
