Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Active Directory / July 2008Backup and recovery fails in windows server 2008
Hi All, I have written one application for taking backup and Recovery of Active Directory. Its working fine with Win 2000 and server 2003 but fails with Server 2008. What is the reason for this? Is any Architecture changed for 2008? Regards, Vishy Hello vishy, What are you backing up in your Application? In 2008 you can only backup system state or complete volumes or disks, that is changed. So no folder based backups are possible except you maybe find 3rd party tools.

Nothing else. Before this works you also have to add the Windows server backup feature.

Now the present state is, previously for win 2000 and server 2003 i was using Directory Backup API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ library/ms675896(VS.85).aspx) for backing up AD. In every API given in MSDN gives a note saying that Note This function is available for use in the operating systems listed in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Begginning with Windows Vista, use Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) instead. So now i am going through the documentation of VSS, it seems to help me but not sure. Suggest me if i am on wrong path. ________ Vishy |
