Disk-level backup operates over the Windows File Sharing protocol (CIFS). To
perform disk-level backups, ensure that the computer running CTERA Agent has
access to the appliance using Windows File Sharing.
System state backup
System state backup, available on Windows 2003 Server only, creates a backup file for
critical system-related components. The system state data includes the registry, COM+
Class Registration database, files under Windows File Protection, and system boot files.
Depending on the server’s configuration, additional data may be included in the system
state data, as well. For example, if the server is a certificate server, the system state will
also contain the Certificate Services database. If the server is a domain controller, Active
Directory and the SYSVOL directory are also included in the system state data.
The system state backup is stored in NTBACKUP format, and the Microsoft NTBACKUP
tool can be used to recover the system state from the backup file. For information on
restoring your system from a system state backup, see Restoring from a System State
Backup on Windows 2003 Server SP2.
Traffic generated by CTERA Agent backup operations of any type can be secured with Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
CTERA Agents can be remotely managed and monitored from the appliance Web interface.
For information, see Centrally Managing CTERA Agents (on page 213).
