    Requirements Requirements
    • Physical Imaging backups and their revisions must be stored locally. Valid local storage locations are:
    • Direct attached storage
    • Network attached storage
    • Removable storage

    The following local storage locations cannot be selected for backup:
    • Volumes with non-NTFS file systems



    Important! Because you are backing up the full volume, ensure that you have enough local storage space for a full backup of each selected volume (it should be roughly equal to the used size of the volume) and any incremental changes.

  6. In the Current Selection pane, select the volumes you would like to back up.
    Clicking the arrow icon arrow.png at the right of the items displays more volumes
    The selection is displayed in the far-right pane. Click the remove icon icon delete.png to remove any selections.

    Restrictions Restrictions: The following volume sets cannot be selected for backup:
    • Volumes with non-NTFS file systems (Unless the System volume is part of the Boot Volumes group.)
    • Remote volumes /mapped network drives
    • Volumes that are already included in a Physical Imaging backup set (grayed out).
    • Removable media.
    • Volumes that are encrypted and locked.
    • Local Only/Online and Local backup sets, and volumes that include the Local Vault location.
    The boot volumes group allows easy selection of any volume required to perform a restore of the physical system as a functional virtual machine or as VHD/X.
