Re: Server Backup issue
Click Start ,
click Administrative Tools ,
and then click Windows Server Backup .
In the Actions pane of the snap-in default page, under Windows Server Backup , click Backup Schedule . This opens the Backup Schedule Wizard.
On the Getting Started page, click Next .
On the Select Backup Configuration page, do one of the following, and then click Next :
Click Full server (recommended) to back up all volumes on the server.
Click Custom to back up just certain items, and then click Next .
On the Select Items for Backup page, click Add Items . In Select Items , select the check boxes for the items that you want to back up. If you want to back up just certain folders or files on a disk or volume, expand the folder tree and select the items that you want to include. Click OK .
On the Select Items for Backup page, click Advanced Settings , click the Exclusions tab, click Add Exclusions , and then expand the folder tree and select the items that you want to exclude.
On the VSS Settings tab, select either VSS full Backup or VSS copy Backup . Click OK and then click Next .
On the Specify Backup Time page, do one of the following, and then click Next :
Click Once a day , and then enter the time to start running the daily backup.
Click More than once a day . Then, to select a start time, under Available time , click the time that you want the backup to start, and then click Add to move the time under Scheduled time . Repeat for each start time that you want to add.
On the Specify Destination Type page, select Back up to a hard disk that is dedicated for backups (recommended) and then click Next .
On the Select Destination Disk page, select the disks that you want to use to store backups, and then click Next .
By default, the likely disk or disks are shown in the list. These disks are external disks that can be used for moving backups offsite for disaster protection. If the list is empty, or the disks that you want to use are not listed, click Show All Available Disks . In Show All Available Disks , select the check boxes next to the disks that you want to use to store the backups, click OK , and then on Select Destination Disk , select the check boxes for the disks again. These disks will no longer be visible in Windows Explorer—to prevent data from accidentally being stored on the disks and then overwritten, and to prevent accidental loss of backups.
A message informs you that any one of the disks that you selected may be chosen to store the first backup. Click OK .
A message informs you that the selected disks will be formatted and any existing data will be deleted. Click Yes . Do not click Yes if you have data on the disks that you need. To use different disks, click No , and then select different disks under Available disks .
On the Label Destination Disk page, each disk that you selected is listed. A label that includes your computer name, the current date, the current time, and a disk name is assigned to each disk. Click Next .

Re: Server Backup issue
Right click on the node, choose Tasks, Manage Parallels Agent Configuration;
Then expand backupm, configuration, backupm_config and set CHAIN_LENGTH and KEEP_MAX values, where
- CHAIN_LENGTH is maximum backups chain length (includes one full backup),
- KEEP_MAX is maximum number of full backups is going to be saved.
Create scheduled backup task by using PIM, PMC or Windows Scheduler.
Then expand backupm, configuration, backupm_config and set CHAIN_LENGTH and KEEP_MAX values, where

Re: Server Backup issue
A backup rotation scheme is a method of backing up data to computer media (such as tapes) that reduces the amount of media utilised by reusing existing media. The system specifies how and when each piece of portable storage is used for a backup operation, as well as how long it is kept once backup data has been put on it.
Create a Bash script first.
Step 2: Create a cron job to run the Bash script on a regular basis.
Step 3: Make backups of your MySQL database.
Step 4: Use rsync to perform remote backups.

Re: Server Backup issue
A backup server is a sort of server that allows users to back up data, files, applications, and databases. It can be locally based or a distant backup server, and it includes both hardware and software features for managing and recovering backups. The location of the server is usually determined by the deployment method.
