AhsayCBSAhsay Go Windows System and System State Backup and Restore
Ahsay Go provides you with a set of tools to protect your mission critical systems / personal computers on Windows operating system platforms.
This includes an image-based / bare-metal backup feature, that leverages Microsoft’s native Wbadmin command-line tool (Wbadmin) for Windows Server 2016 and newer releases. It also has a recovery feature, to ensure that your servers and computers are protected even if they are lost or destroyed entirely. The image can be recovered onto a new device if necessary.
System state backup and restore operations include all system state data, and you cannot choose to backup or restore individual components due to dependencies among the system state components.
System state data is comprised of the following files:
- Boot files, including the system files, and all files protected by Windows File Protection (WFP)
- Active Directory (on a domain controller only)
- SYSVOL (on a domain controller only)
- Certificate Services (on certification authority only)
- Cluster database (on a cluster node only)
- Component Services Class registration database
- Performance counter configuration information
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) meta directory (on an IIS server only)
- Registry
The size of a set of system state backup data is dependent on the role installed on the server.
