Re: [Networker] Save Set for non domain servers?

Safest bet is to just do the Save Set ALL.  That will get everything you
need to protect the OS.  If there are other programs like Exchange or MSSQL
you'll need extra modules and save set definitions to handle this.

If you run into an error when using the ALL save set then come to the group
with that perhaps.

You do need to backup the extra M$ save sets (System DB:\, System Files:\,
System State:\) which will be part of the ALL save set in order to recover
the machine in full.  There is a lot of data that M$ saves that needs to be
backed up for various reasons via these special save sets.  If you only
wanted to recover the data portion of your server and had no interest in
windows settings such as IIS or DC configuration information then you could
skip them, but you should probably be VERY familiar with NetWorker and M$
backups before deciding to skip them.

NetWorker is not a lightweight backup environment, you may really want to
read the administrators guide now so that you're not stuck asking questions
in the moment of emergency.  It's one of the few programs I've read the
administrators guides all the way through.
