Hi Forum,
BE 2012, standalone, no CASO.
I get backing-up the catalog to off-site media, and I see why I should backup System_State:\ (if I want to be able to restore Windows Event Logs for later inspection) but I don't see a need to backup the installed BE binaries, nor the C:\Windows folder (apart from a few config files, e.g. the \drivers\etc\hosts file - and maybe a few others) - because surely BE cannot be used to SDR itself - and that instead recovering a standalone BE server will always involve installing a fresh O/S, installing and configuring BE, importing the catalog backup and then restoring the catalog backup.
So, do poeple generaly forgoe backing-up most of C:\Windows, and also forgoe backing-up BE application binaries, on standalone BE servers?
Thanks. D.
