Overview

CloudBacko Pro allows you to backup the Windows System State data, including:

• Boot files, including the system files, and all files protected by Windows File Protection (WFP)
• Active Directory (on a domain controller only)
• SYSVOL (on a domain controller only)
• Certificate Services (on certification authority only)
• Cluster database (on a cluster node only)
• Component Services Class registration database
• Performance counter configuration information
• Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) meta directory (on a IIS server only)

You cannot choose to backup or restore individual components due to dependencies among the system state components.

The size of a set of System State backup data is dependent on the role installed on the server. Please refer to the following article for more details:
