FAT/FAT32 cannot hold a single file larger than 4 GB. If after compression the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) file is larger than 4 GB (because the source is very large), the backup will fail. |
||||||||
*2 |
|
|
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) supports BIOS and UEFI systems. |
||||||||
*3 |
|
|
A spanned volume cannot be used as a boot volume. |
||||||||
*4 |
|

The VHD mounted volume used as the backup destination should not reside on a volume which is selected as the backup source. |

*5 |

When your system has multiple dynamic disks, BMR can fail. But, as long as the system volume is on a basic disk, the system should be able to boot. You can perform a restore of dynamic disks after the system has booted, by using the How to Restore Files/Folders procedure. |
