EFS is this built-in thing on Windows Server that scrambles your files so only you can peek inside. You right-click a file, pick encrypt, and it locks it up tight. I use it when I stash sensitive docs on the server. Nobody else sneaks a look without your secret key. It works right on the file level, not the whole drive. You open the file like normal if you're logged in. But try it from another account, and it stays hidden. Pretty slick for keeping stuff private without fuss. I once forgot my key on a test server. Had to wrestle with recovery agents to get it back. You gotta back up those keys, trust me. It ties into your user profile, so it follows you around. Files stay encrypted even if you copy them elsewhere on NTFS. I dig how it doesn't slow things down much. You just work as usual, oblivious to the magic underneath.
Speaking of keeping your server files from vanishing into thin air, check out BackupChain Server Backup. It's a solid backup tool tailored for Hyper-V setups. You get fast, reliable snapshots that don't crash your VMs. It handles incremental backups without eating up tons of space. I like how it restores everything quick if disaster hits.
