EFI partition 2 on disk 1 will be backed up as a raw partition

[AlexLeadingEdge]

Hi guys,

Since upgrading to Veeam Agent 13.1.1.700 I'm seeing this error message:

Code: Select all

19/08/2026 6:00:36 p.m. :: "EFI partition 2 on disk 1 will be backed up as a raw partition"

Why is it backing up as RAW when it is FAT32? Should I be concerned about this?

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> diskpart

Hi Alex,

Doesn't look expected; do you have a support case opened already? If not, please start with a Support Case and let Veeam Support review the situation. I'm not immediately aware of an issue on this, but Support will know more / will be able to diagnose the issue.

Please share your case number once created, thanks!

We have the same issue on basically all DC's

Hi Henrik,

Please open a Support case as noted above -- please be sure to include logs

Checking again, looks like this may match a newly discovered issue, but this needs to be confirmed by Veeam Support. Please reference internal article KB0075937 in your description (still include logs).

+1 - Just want to ignore this warning so I don't get it anymore in my backup summaries

I stupidly opened this ticket using the Support function inside Veeam Agent so it has treated it as a free product.

I have tried to open another ticket using my VeeamB&R account but it is missing from the support drop-down list, I'm only seeing free products, despite having a Veeam Data Platform Essentials Enterprise license paid up until 2028.
