Introduction

For this milestone, I created a Hyper-V backup. The exclusion and inclusion options were given to me towards the end of the backup setup. The Backup Chain application simply allowed me to select one of my virtual machines that I have prepared in my Hyper-V manager. I selected my backup location.  After the backup had finished, I began the restoration process for the virtual machine. I selected a file destination to place the restored virtual machine.This destination had to be created using a new folder since I did not have an empty location. I was given a notification after the restoration process had completed saying that a copy of one of my virtual machines was created. This meant that the process was successful, but I had to see for myself if the virtual machine was really added into the Hyper-V manager. After opening up the Hyper-V manager, I was able to see that a copy of one of my virtual machines was created. This confirmed success of the...

-Average read speed of the first drive is 100mb/sec. -Average write speed of second drive is 80mb/sec. -Copy 1tb to second drive. Only need to worry about write speed of the second drive. (1024x1024x1024)/(80(1024)) =13107.2 seconds

This milestone was a bit trickier to initiate than the previous milestones. For this one, I utilized two different computers, both with 4gb of RAM. I initially had to install rufus on my laptop in order to transfer the Windows Server 2016 over to my USB flash drive.   This step was required in order to install Windows Server 2016 into a separate computer upon booting up. Once the computer booted up, I pressed F12 to get into the booting setup menu and install the server from my USB drive. Once the server finished installing, I was welcomed with the server manager. I turned on some of the essential features, such as internet access. I also turned on access to Hyper-V. Through the Hyper-V manager, I created my virtual machine. The virtual machine used 512mb of usable memory. This step took the most time to complete for me but after changing settings such as memory usage and iso images, I had finally got the virtual machine to boot. Outside of the virt...

Using the Backup Chain application, I was able to navigate and attempt to backup any file or virtual disks that I had on my machine. I did a VMware Backup in the application, and I backed up the folder that stated "Windows Server 2016." This folder contained the VM for VMware. The folder began to backup into an external hard drive: After waiting a little while for the backing up process, I began to prepare the restoration process for the file. I selected my backup folder as my location to be restored and placed the contents in a new folder to be replaced. This folder was named "Restore." I restored the folder in the VMware application. Once I created a new VM in VMware, I removed the hard disk that was automatically created in the setup. I replaced it with the restored hard disk.
