Backing up a file system on Windows NT

To create a tape backup, use the Windows NT backup and restore utility.

To create a backup of all the files on a disk:

  1. Select Programs --> Administrative Tools --> Backup.
  2. In the Drives window, select the drive that you want to back up.
  3. On the Select menu, click Check.
  4. On the Operations menu, click Backup.

For more information refer to the Windows NT online help.

To reduce recovery time after a crash, use an incremental backup strategy where level 0 refers to a full backup, and levels 1 through 9 refer to incremental backups. A level n backup backs up only those files that have changed since a level (n-1) backup. After a level n backup, the next backup to be taken will be a level (n+1) backup.
