A system volume is the disk volume that contains the hardware-specific files required to start Windows, such as BOOTMGR. A boot volume is the disk volume that contains the Windows operating system files and its supporting files. A computer contains one system volume; however, there is one boot volume for each operating system in a multiboot system.
The files contained in the system volume can reside in the system drive (c:\), in a volume that does not contain a drive letter, or in a named volume. On Windows Server 2008 R2 systems, the system volume may not necessarily reside in the boot system drive (c:\). By default, the system volume is usually a volume without a drive letter.
The Arcserve Backup protect the system volumes as part of the computer's system state. You can back up the system state explicitly or dynamically.
Note: For information about explicit job packaging and dynamic job packaging, see the Arcserve Backup Administration Guide.
Arcserve Backup lets you back up the entire boot volume as part of the system state. To recover one file, several files, or all files from the system state, and data files contained in the boot volume, you must perform a full recovery of the system state. You can then recover the system state, or system volume, as part of the disaster recovery process. To use this approach, you must create an Arcserve Backup Disaster recovery CD.
For more information about how to create disaster recovery CD, see Disaster Recovery on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
