Gordon Ryan checks in again with a very cool screencast highlighting some of the new backup features that arrive with the RC version of Windows Server 2008 R2 including:

The ability to backup System State as a separate job as well as the ability to do incremental System State backups.
The ability to exclude specific file types, file folders, and specific files instead of having to backup an entire volume.
The ability to backup to a volume or a network share instead of requiring a dedicated disk for backups.

Very small video presentation, very hard to see. Content was good.

By default Edge streams the low quality rendering of the file. When you download the high quality file, it is clear. I also manually updated the link to stream the high quality. All fixed now!

Why does my server 2008 sp2 not have the advanced options? i would like these options to exclude certain file types but mine just has basic options that i cannot change.

Anyone got an answer?

All of those applications exist for Windows Server 2003 and are being ported to Server 2008. They offer varying levels of integration with our compute cluster scheduler. With built a simple demonstration with Softimage, for instance.
