After installing Windows Server 2008, back up the whole server configuration to a shared folder on
another server or media such as a DVD.
Windows Server Backup function
For Windows Server 2008, you can back up and restore the whole system by using the "Windows

tape backup.

PowerShell are not supported. Only command line (Wbadmin command) backup is supported.
