Here is a question for the bests.
I'm trying to create a full backup of my entire disk (using veeam backup agent for Windows), it means that I would like to CLONE my entire disk. I have a dual boot.
Question: What happens when I use the "backup entire computer" option from Veeam Backup Agent?
Answer: When I use this option, Veeam only can "see" my "C:/" which is my partition from Windows (137.02GB), and unfortunately my Linux partition which is "DISK 0 partition 5" (I can see this on diskmgmt.msc) here in my computer (83.91GB) can't be copied. I tested this behavior with veeam version 2.2.0, 3.0.2 and the latest version which is 4.0.
I have some prints of this behavior.
Here's my configuration:
- Dell Inspiron 15 hardware 5548 (I tested before and after Dell driver update/installation);
- Dual boot (Windows 10 + Debian 10 Buster);
- Windows 10 Build 2004 (I tested before and after this Windows update);
- My Debian has LUKS encryption, LVM partitions, and both (Windows + Linux) are configured to work with UEFI.
An interesting history:
- Before I use this Dell 5548, I had another notebook with Dual Boot (Windows 10 + CentOS) and I could easily backup my entire disk and I do some tests recovering, all without any problems. Oh, and the CentOS had LUKS encryption and LVM disks configured as this Debian that I'm using right now.
Question: What I'm thinking about the problem?
Answer: I think it is happening because Veeam can't see my Linux partition, even if I "check" the hidden volums.
Does anyone knows why this happens? Is there any solution?
