Backup- Procedure to install Windows Server Backup in Windows 2008

NTbackup is removed from Windows Server 2008, and new feature named as "Windows Server Backup" cames into the picture.
As we all might already know, that in Windows 2008 Environment all features doesn't install by default, so we need to install Windows Server Backup once to use this feature. Below mentioned is the procedure to install Windows Server Backup feature.
  1. Click Start, click Server Manager, in the left pane click Features, and then in the right pane click Add Features. This opens the Add Features Wizard.
  2. In the Add Features Wizard, on the Select Features page, expand Windows Server Backup Features, and then select the check boxes for Windows Server Backup and Command-line Tools.
    We will receive a message that Windows PowerShell is also required to be installed with these features.
    Note:
    If we just want to install the snap-in and the Wbadmin command-line tool, expand Windows Server Backup Features, and then select the Windows Server Backup check box. In this case, Windows PowerShell is not required.

  3. Click Add Required Features, and then click Next.
  4. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, review the choices that you made, and then click Install. If there is an error during the installation, it will be noted on the Installation Results page.
