Installing the Windows backup and recovery utilities

Installing the Windows backup and recovery utilities

The Windows Server backup and recovery tools are available in all editions of Windows Server 2012 R2. However, you cannot install the graphical components of these utilities on core installations of Windows Server 2012 R2. On servers running with a core installation, you need to use the command line, Windows PowerShell, or manage backups via a remote session from another computer.

You can install the Windows backup and recovery tools by following these steps:

1. In Server Manager, select Add Roles And Features on the Manage menu. This starts the Add Roles And Features Wizard. If the wizard displays the Before You Begin page, read the introductory text, and then tap or click Next.

2. On the Installation Type page, Role-Based Or Feature-Based Installation is selected by default. Tap or click Next.

3. On the Server Selection page, you can choose to install roles and features on running servers or virtual hard disks. Either select a server from the server pool or select a server from the server pool on which to mount a virtual hard disk (VHD). If you are adding roles and features to a VHD, tap or click Browse and then use the Browse For Virtual Hard Disks dialog box to locate the VHD. When you are ready to continue, tap or click Next twice.

4. On the Select Features page, select Windows Server Backup. Tap or click Next.

5. Tap or click Install. When the wizard finishes installing the selected features, tap or click Close. From now on, Windows Server Backup and the related command-line tools and the Windows Server Backup module for Windows PowerShell are available for managing backups.
