Server Usb Recovery Key

Hi there.

 

I've been able to successfully create a USB recovery disk for my server computers, and was hoping to be able to create something similar for the server.

 

The (abysmal) Windows help implies this is possible (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/restore-create-bootable-usb-drive-2.aspx )

Bootable USB flash drive for your server

The USB flash drive that you use must be 8 GB or larger. After you select the USB flash drive that you want to use, the wizard verifies that it is large enough to use for recovering your server.

After the wizard finishes preparing the USB flash drive, insert it into the server, and then start the server in recovery mode. To learn how to start your server in recovery mode, refer to the documentation from the manufacturer of your server hardware.

The bootable USB flash drive for the server will contain the factory image which is used if you select the option to reset the server to the factory default settings.

How can this be done? via Dashboard? I've tried "Computer & Backup"/Click on Server/"additional tasks"/Tools/Create Key which does successfully complete, but it looks like this has simply created another client boot disk.

 

Note I am not asking how to install an ISO image of the install onto a USB stick. While this would be helpful it wouldn't include all the accumulated updates.
