Backing up a DC with file level backup

[ADietz]

Hello,
is it possible to backup a domain controller using file level mode (hybrid backup)? The operating system, Volume C: (system volume) and personal files are backed up in volume level mode. Volume D: and E: shall be backed up in file level mode. Or is it recommended to backup the whole server in volume level mode?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi ADietz.

It will work just fine.
VSS snapshots are per-volume, so choosing one backup mode for C: and another backup mode for D: will not intersect with another.

Thanks!
