System State Restore - Small Business Server 2011

Jim Richardson

Curious if there are any particular best practices regarding a System State Restore on a Small Business Server 2011?

I have seen more detailed help concerning restores I think before but I don't see them via the Help menu in the MSP360 portal. Does anyone know where this additional documentation resides?

Thank you.

If an image backup was created can a System State Restore be performed? If no, what options or workarounds are there to restore the system state from an image backup?

Jim Richardson

I asked the question about the ability to restore the system state because the UI on the locally installed MSP360 software shows 4 different type of date to restore though only Restore Image Based Backup is select-able. The other three options including the option to Restore System State are grayed out.

Are you saying that you did not perform a system state backup? What files are you looking to recover?

Jim Richardson

Yes, these backups were made as image based backups. We have a server that is running Active Directory and need to do a system state restore.

In order to do a system state restore, you need to have performed a system state backup. You can restore the files needed if you know what they are from the image backup. Please refer to this article on restoring AD if that's what you need: https://kb.msp360.com/standalone-backup/ibb/backup-and-recovery-of-the-microsoft-active-directory
