Backing up data with Plug-in Offline Client

Disk Partitions: All (or individual) partitions can be selected for backup.
Mounted Volumes (Linux® and UNIX®): All of which are backed up as individual partitions.
NOTE: The Master Boot Record (MBR) and the Partition Table items are backed up automatically when a partition (all or individual) is backed up using the Plug-in Server. Therefore, these items are not available to select for a backup.
Before backing up any portion of a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client’s hard drive, Dell recommends that you note the Disk Size and the Disk Geometry of the selected drive. If these items are not accounted for, a restore might fail.

Backing up data

When Disk Raw Mode is selected, not only is the disk in use backed up, but the entire disk is as well. For example, if 6GB are in use on a 30GB partition, 30GB of media is used to back up the disk. Only use the Disk Raw Mode option when a complete hard drive is selected for a Plug-in Server backup (that is, not an individual partition).
Dynamic disks must be backed up by using Disk Raw Mode to maintain partition information.
