  • The drives(Volumes) that are already backed up will be greyed out and is not eligible for backup.
  • If you have chosen drives from different disks for backup, the backup will progress in ascending order of disks. For Example: In a 3 disk setup, the backup progress will be in the following order: Drives from Disk 0 will be backed up first, followed by drives from Disk 1 which is then concluded by drives from Disk 2.
  • You can choose the drives to be backed up by selecting the check-boxes. Once done selecting, click Next to proceed with the backup process. If you try selecting the disks.

Note: Windows Image Backup is supported for single-digit disks(Disk 0, Disk 1,…Disk 9) and two digit-disks, for example, Disk10, Disk11, and so on. It is recommended to include a boot partition (System Reserved) in the backup so that the backed-up image is bootable during the restore process.

These disks/volumes cannot be configured for the backup process due to any of the below-mentioned reasons:

  • If the volume has already been configured for backup.
  • Disk is ReFS/FAT/exFAT formatted.
  • If the volume is compressed using NTFS Compression.
  • If the volume is NTFS folder mounted.
