Hello friend
Welcome to my video
In this video, i show you how to backup and restore your windows server with TrueNAS
First
First, Create A Windows Share in TrueNAS
I will set up a TrueNAS user account,
which allows you to securely access your shares
Go to “Accounts” then “Users” on the left menu
I’ll be creating a new user called “buser”
Go to the Services page,
and make sure “Running” is enabled next to SMB
To ensure that SMB is always running after TrueNAS reboots, c
heck “Start Automatically”
Go to “Storage” then “Pools” on the left hand side
Open the pool options by clicking the 3 dots on the right of the pool then, “Add Dataset”
“Add Dataset”
I’m calling this ‘backupsv’ and setting the share type to ‘SMB’.
Click “SAVE” when done
Next
we’ll create the Windows Share.
Go to “Sharing”,
and “Windows Shares (SMB)”
Click the folder icon,
and browse to the path of the dataset you want to share,
which was ‘backupsv’
For this next step
I’ll need to assign the user we created earlier with the Share
From the Pools window,
open the share options by clicking the 3 dots on the right,
and “Edit Permissions”.
click “Add ACL Item”,
then choose “User” for the “Who” field,
and “buser” for the “User” field
In this section i will be shown the procedure required to perform a backup Windows Server

and proceed with the installation of this backup feature
Select the "Features" window,
then, scroll and choose the "Windows Server Backup" item and go ahead
Then, wait for the installation to finish and then click on "Close".

Run Server Manager and Open Tools then Active Directory Users and Computers
Right-click the domain that you want to add the user to and then choose New User from the contextual menu
Enter the user logon name : "buser"
Enter the password twice
Verify that the information is correct and then click finish to create the account
Once Windows Server Backup is open,
select Local Backup and then click on Backup Once to configure the backup rules
In the “Specify Destination Type” section, you choose "Remote Share Folder" and go ahead
At the next screen, type the TrueNAS network path where you want to save the backup to
