I am trying to backup my Windows Server 2008 R2. Now what I want to do is, to transfer the data straight to another computer's drive. Is that possible? If yes, Can anyone provide me with the link or the steps on how i can do it? It would be a big help. Thank you very much.

What did you already try? Where did you get stuck? etc etc. – Hennes – 2016-08-28T18:40:01.193
My gut is telling me that you are not communicating what you are trying to accomplish properly. Backing up a computer is pretty easy, whether using Windows' built-in backup, or a 3rd party tool. Are you trying to move the entire OS and applications to a laptop to be used there? – Keltari – 2016-08-28T18:55:19.003
@Keltari I am not trying to backup a Windows computer, I am trying to backup a Windows Server. In case of server failure, I can use that backup to restore the data. What I am asking is, is it possible for me to backup my "Server data" and store directly to another computer or do I have to use a hard drive or something? – Dhrumit Patel – 2016-08-28T19:18:41.973
1@DhrumitPatel you can back it up literally anywhere. – Keltari – 2016-08-28T19:19:50.843
@Keltari So, in order to save that backup my server data straight to my laptop, what kind of physical connection do I have to do? Does a serial connection work? Will my laptop's drive be shown in my Server? Or do I have to share my laptop's hard drive? – Dhrumit Patel – 2016-08-28T19:22:20.443
