Available if the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows (or for Linux) is installed.
Select this option to back up disks and/or volumes. To be able to back up disks or volumes, you must
have Administrator or Backup operator privileges.

Backing up disks and volumes enables you to recover the entire system in case of severe data damage
or hardware failure. The backup procedure is faster than copying files, and may significantly speed up
the backup process when it comes to backing up large volumes of data.
or hardware failure. The backup procedure is faster than copying files, and may significantly speed up
the backup process when it comes to backing up large volumes of data.
Note for Linux users: We recommend that you unmount any volumes that contain non-journaling file systems—
such as the ext2 file system—before backing them up. Otherwise, these volumes might contain corrupted files
upon recovery; recovery of these volumes with resize might fail.

Selecting disks and volumes
To specify disks/volumes to back up
1. Select the check boxes for the disks and/or volumes to back up. You can select a random set of
disks and volumes.
If your operating system and its loader reside on different volumes, always include both volumes in the
backup. The volumes must also be recovered together; otherwise there is a high risk that the operating
system will not start.
backup. The volumes must also be recovered together; otherwise there is a high risk that the operating
system will not start.
2. [Optional] To create an exact copy of a disk or volume on a physical level, select the Back up
sector-by-sector check box. The resulting backup will be equal in size to the disk being backed up
(if the Compression level option is set to “None”). Use the sector-by-sector backup for backing up
drives with unrecognized or unsupported file systems and other proprietary data formats.

What does a disk or volume backup store?
For supported file systems, with the sector-by-sector option turned off, a disk or volume backup
stores only those sectors that contain data. This reduces the resulting backup size and speeds up the
backup and recovery operations.

Windows
The swap file (pagefile.sys) and the file that keeps the RAM content when the machine goes into
hibernation (hiberfil.sys) are not backed up. After recovery, the files will be re-created in the
appropriate place with the zero size.

A volume backup stores all other files and folders of the selected volume independent of their
attributes (including hidden and system files), the boot record, the file allocation table (FAT) if it
exists, the root and the zero track of the hard disk with the master boot record (MBR). The boot
code of GPT volumes is not backed up.
