Setting Up Windows Server 2012 Essentials server backup
One of the steps in setting up a Windows Server 2012 Essentials system
is to configure the server for automatic backups of the system to another drive.
You can configure the system to backup the operating system, server
folders, and other items by selecting "Set up Server Backup" from
the Dashboard. The drive, or drives, you select to be used for
the automatic backups, may be reformatted, so don't select a drive that
has files you wish to retain without copying them elsewhere first. You
can configure the backups to run at multiple times during the day;
Microsoft recommends you backup the server at least twice per day.

Obtaining details for disk drives with diskpart under Windows
The command line program diskpart can be used on Microsoft Windows 2000
and later systems to obtain details on the disk drives connected to a system
and the partitions and volumes on the disk drives. To use the
utility, at the diskpart prompt, which can be obtained by running the
program, you select the disk by number and then the partition or volume for
which you wish information by typing
detail followed
by
partition or
volume, or you can obtain
overall information for the drive with
detail disk.
