Create Backup Set
Backup Requirements
Please ensure that the following requirements or recommendations are met by the backup client computer:
- %edition_name% is installed on the computer to be backed up.
- Sufficient disk spaces are required for the temporary storage volume of the System backup. It is recommended to have free disk space of 150% x Total In-use Size of all volumes selected for backup.
The following Windows Features are installed on the client computer:
Windows Server Backup Features
- Windows Server Backup
- Command line Tool
- Windows PowerShell
- It is recommended that the temporary directory be configured on a local drive.
- The Microsoft Windows System backup module (wbadmin start backup) uses the .vhd format for writing backups. The current virtual hard disk specification limits the size of a virtual hard disk to be 2040 GB (2 TB), which can fit a volume of size 2040 GB minus 2 MB.
The maximum source volume size of a System backup is limited to 2088958 MB, roughly 2 TB.
