Windows Server 2019
Posted: Wed Nov 25, 2020 12:19 pm
Hi.
I have a brand new Windows Server 2019 machine for use in a small office.
I would like to create occasional (a few a year) image snapshots for disaster recovery.
Note, data backup is handled separately, backed-up daily locally and to cloud. I am concerned here only with the OS drive, which happens to be a 1 TB NVMe SSD (no RAID).
a) Do TBU products fully support Windows Server 2019? Website states only "Server 2016, etc".
b) Which products would you recommend? My understanding is that Image for Linux would require booting to Linux, whereas Image for Windows runs within the Server OS itself so should be much easier to use. But is Image for Windows as reliable for disaster recovery if my 1 TB NVMe drive fails and needs to be replaced? Maybe my concerns are unfounded, but my instinct suggests an image created while the system is running can't possibly be as good as one created outside of the OS while not running.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
