Ntbackup is deprecated in Windows Server 2008"coded name Longhorn" and is replaced by Windows Server Backup.
To backup the System State in Windows Server 2008, you have to use the command line "WBADMIN"
The exact command like this:
C:\>WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP -backuptarget:E:
Click "Y" to start the backup

Hi there,
Great script - but how do you get the script to backup to a certain folder?
The following returns an error for me - WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP -backuptarget:E:\BACKUP\
Cheers

Hi Andy, have you tried putting your backup path in quotes? I.E -backuptarget:"e:\backup\"

@Andy... nevermind, that doesn't work either. Another thing I noticed is that if you have say two partitions, the first being the OS, and the other containing Active directory, then it will not let you create the systate backup on either of the partitions as they are "critical". In 2003, you could do it... Weird

Any idea yet to backup to a folder?
After running as Administrator in command prompt "WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP -backuptarget:D:", I received "Enumeration of the files failed. Access is denied"
I tried add administrator user in "backup operator" group as well and the result is still the same.
Any advice?
Enumeration of the files failed. Access is denied" is caused be your backtarget drive being too small for the shadowcopy, kinda sucks, before it was a small megebyte file, now it images the whole volume

It worked fine, however how to restore it if required ?
FIRTS TYPE THE COMMAND TO GET VERSION
WBADMIN GET VERSION
AFTER GETTING LIST OF VERSION CHOOSE THE VERSION AND APPLY THIS CAOMMAND
WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATERECOVERY-VERSION:"----"
For backup :
wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:d:\adbackup
For Restore :
wbadmin get version
wbadmin start systemstaterecover -version:
Good Work thank you very much
