Backup Whole Server Except One Volume

[redhorse]

Hello,

I want to change an existing Endpoint Backup of the Veeam-Server itself from "legacy" just integrated Endpoint Backup to a backup which is managed by the backup server. As I understand I have to create a new backup job to achieve this. My Veeam-Server has three partitions:

- C: with System Data
- D: with Veeam Repository
- E: with other data

I want to backup C: and E:, so I have to choose Volume level backup, is that right? In the next windows ("Items") I can specify the volumes which I want to backup, so I can add manually C: and E:, but what happens with system volumes like "EFI system partition" which I choose in the existing configuration in the agent configuration? I want to have a backup which I can use for a Bare-metal-recovery.

It would be easier to configure a full backup and choose one volume as an exception, but as I see this is not possible.

So, what should I do?

Thanks!

Select show system and hidden volumes. Select all volumes except for D:.

That's what I did when I used the configuration of the Veeam Agent GUI, but that's not an option within the VBR setup for agent backups.

I reviewed the veeam_backup_9_5_agent_management_guide. That is definitely a good question.

I found something regarding my question in the online manual:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

"If you include a system volume in the volume-level backup, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows automatically includes the System Reserved/UEFI or other system partitions in the backup too."

So, with choosing the system partion c: the UEFI volume should be included and a bare metal recovery is possible.

Bare Metal Recovery is possible even with

Correct!
