Does ntbackup support VSS or Bare Metal Recovery

Hi All,

As we know, the Windows Server Backup supports VSS and Bare Metal Recovery. However, in our organization there are still a few very old servers with Windows Server 2003 OS which has only ntbackup.

• Can I backup the system volume online without shutting down the server and then going to DOS/PE and running GHOST?
• Can I restore the system volume even if the OS has been crashed (e.g. Blue screen after applying some patches).

Thanks,
