Veeam Agent from console B&R V10

Post by messher »

Hi all,
creating a backup in Veeam Agent for a Microsoft Windows server Vm, is there any difference between "Operating system" flag and C:\, in the volume selection for the job?
Thank you.

If I remember right, "Operating System" option also includes hidden system recovery\reserved\boot\EFI partitions.
C:\ will backup only C:\

/Thanks!

Egor is right.
We recommend to choose Operating System.
That's the only way to make sure, that all system volumes and hidden system partitions are included. Now and in the future.
