To create a data recovery strategy that meets the requirements described in the question, you should consider using the built-in backup and restore capabilities of the Windows Server operating system. This can be done by configuring a regular backup schedule for the data files and folders in the C:\Data directory, and specifying an external storage location for the backups.

To set up the backup schedule and configure the backup location, you can follow these steps:

Open the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) control panel by typing "backup and restore" into the Start menu search box and pressing Enter.
Click the "Set up backup" link on the left side of the window.
In the "Where do you want to save your backup?" section, select the "On a hard disk" option and choose the external storage location where you want to save the backups.
In the "What do you want to back up?" section, select the "Let me choose" option, and then check the box next to the C:\Data folder to include it in the backup.
Click the "Save settings and run backup" button to start the backup process and save the configuration.
After the initial backup is complete, you can restore individual files and folders from the C:\Data directory by following these steps:

Open the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) control panel by typing "backup and restore" into the Start menu search box and pressing Enter.
Click the "Restore my files" button on the left side of the window.
In the "Browse for files" section, select the backup location where the C:\Data files and folders are saved, and then navigate to the specific file or folder that you want to restore.
Select the file or folder, and then click the "Next" button to initiate the restore process.
Alternatively, you could use a third-party backup and restore tool that meets the requirements described in the question. There are many options available, and the specific steps for setting up and using these tools may vary. It is recommended to research and compare different options to find the one that best meets your organization's needs
