Partition Drive Before Bare Metal Restore?

Post by netmation »

Want to do a complete restore of a Windows Boot Drive. Prior to booting to the Veeam Recovery Media should the new drive you are restoring be a non-formatted non-partitioned drive? Or should a single large partition be created before running recovery?

Hello Albert.

During Bare Metal Recovery you are restoring volumes from the backup file. New drive can be completely empty (in such case you can apply partition layout from the backup) or you can use drive with existing partitions and delete/replace volumes with volumes from backup file. Cheers!
