Step 2: Disk/Volumes Selection
The disks and drives of the selected Windows machine will be displayed with their available space, full space, and the type of disk. You can select the drives from the disk to backup. Click Next to proceed with the backup process.
- The drives(Volumes) that are already backed up will be greyed out and is not eligible for backup.
- If you have chosen drives from different disks for backup, the backup will progress in ascending order of disks. For Example: In a 3 disk setup, the backup progress will be in the following order: Drives from Disk 0 will be backed up first, followed by drives from Disk 1 which is then concluded by drives from Disk 2.
- You can choose the drives to be backed up by selecting the check-boxes. Once done selecting, click Next to proceed with the backup process. If you try selecting the disks.
Note: Windows Image Backup is supported for single-digit disks(Disk 0, Disk 1,…Disk 9) and two digit-disks, for example, Disk10, Disk11, and so on. It is recommended to include a boot partition (System Reserved) in the backup so that the backed-up image is bootable during the restore process.
These disks/volumes cannot be configured for the backup process due to any of the below-mentioned reasons:
- If the volume has already been configured for backup.
- Disk is ReFS/FAT/exFAT formatted.
- If the volume is compressed using NTFS Compression.
- If the volume is NTFS folder mounted.
