I think some of those items are a little dated. For example, I do not
recall the history behind this one:

Windows 2008 must be restored using Windows PE 2.0. Windows 7 and Windows
2008 R2 require Windows PE 3.0 for ASR restore.

but Windows PE 3.1 is the minum version that should be used for Windows
Server 2008.

Here is a parent link to articles covering backup and recovery of Windows:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Best%20practices%20for%20Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager%20backup-archive%20client

The above URL includes links to these individual articles:

* Best Practices for Recovering Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008
R2, Windows 7, and Windows Vista
* Best Practices for Recovering Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8
* Best Practices for Recovering Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1
* Guidelines for Backup and Recovery of Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and
Microsoft Windows 10
* Best Practices for Backing Up Microsoft Windows

These are (mostly) up to date, with the last two being most recent.

Best regards,

Andy
