2. In the tree below Data to back up section, select the items to back up.
To back up all items of the selected data type present on a machine, select the check box next to
the machine. To back up individual data items, expand the machine and select check boxes next
to the required items.
Notes for Disks/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.

Note for Linux users: Logical volumes and MD devices are shown under Dynamic volumes.
For more information about backing up such volumes and devices, see "Backup and recovery
of logical volumes and MD devices (Linux)" (p. 42).

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.
Notes for Virtual machines

Backing up entire virtual machines comes in handy when having small (in terms of virtual
disks size) but numerous legacy servers such as those resulting from workload consolidation.
A separate archive will be created for each machine.

Backing up individual disks or volumes within a virtual machine comes in handy when the
operating system and applications, such as a database server, run on a virtual disk, but the
data, such as a database, is stored on a large capacity physical disk added to the same
machine. You will be able to use different backup strategies for the virtual disk and the
physical storage.
