Support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 was introduced in Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Client version 6.4.0. ASR support for these operating systems was introduced in Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive client version 6.2.2, at which time ASR was added to the Backup-Archive client's system state backup and restore capabilities. Beginning with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft integrated ASR with Microsoft Volume Shadowcopy Service (VSS). ASR has been a feature of Microsoft Windows operating systems since Windows XP. Note: Although the title of this article does not mention Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1, the information in this article also applies to those operating systems.ĪSR is a feature of Microsoft Windows for backing up a system's disk and volume configuration, and restoring it during a bare metal restore operation. See Best Practices for Recovering Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, and Windows Vista for using ASR to recover Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
