Select the type of data you want to be backed up on the managed machine. The list of available data
types depends on the agents running on the machine:

Files
Available if the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows (or for Linux) is installed.
Select this option to back up specific files and folders.
If you are not concerned about recovery of the operating system along with all the settings and
applications, but plan to keep safe only certain data (the current project, for example), choose file
backup. This will reduce the archive size, thus saving storage space.

Disks/volumes

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.

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.

6.2.4.1.
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.
