Differences between function of Windows Server Backup and that of NTBACKUP

Windows Server 2008 includes a backup utility named Windows Server Backup which significantly differs from its predecessor application NTBACKUP. Some of the key differences are as follows:

  • Windows Server Backup does not support writing backup files to tape drives, NTBACKUP does.

  • The smallest object that can be backed up through Windows Server Backup is a volume instead of a file as in NTBACKUP.
  • With Windows Server Backup, backup files cannot be written to network locations or optical media during scheduled backup.
  • Windows Server Backup supports only NTFS-formatted volumes, whereas NTBACKUP supports FAT volumes, too.
  • Windows Server Backup writes output files as Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) files, whereas NTBACKUP writes output as .bkf files.
