Backup of EFI System partition

Post by bbibber »

I'm using Dell servers based on Windows 2012R2 storage server

I'm looking into Veeam Agent to make a physical backup of these servers. Is it possible to backup these servers?
I only want to backup certain volumes and not the whole server, because I will backup disks containing our backups then ;-)

They have 3 partitions
- EFI system partition "ESP": 500 MB (contains bootloaders, kernel images, drivers needed while booting)
- An OEM partition: 40 MB
- A "recovery partition" of 2 GB, created by Windows

These 3 partitions arent NTFS, FAT32, FAT...

Can Agent back these up?
I tried to backup them, but Agent fails with backup of the ESP. I tried to google a bit on this but found nothing useful.
Can the paying version of Agent do this?

Sincerely
Guy

Hello,
yes, that must work from my point of view. Could you please open a case and post the case number here for reference?

Best regards,

Thanks for your reaction HannesK

Is there a way to create a ticket w/o using the Agent functionality? The server is on an isolated network and we cannot put it online (company policy)

Hi,
yes, that's possible via my.veeam.com and create a case where you attach the logs from c:\programdata\veeam...

Best regards,
Hannes
