Best Way: Automatic System Backup for Windows Server

Why Create Auto Backup for Server?

Most PC users will backup system after installing operating system and applications to keep data safe or in case of system damage, so they can restore system when errors occur without taking a long time. So do Server users and small or medium companies. 

However, a backup image will only include the items when you perform the backup. Changed/added files and newly installed software will not be there. If you want to include all of them, the best way is to perform server automatic backup with reliable server backup software. And I'll introduce such a program to you.
