Recovery Options

Full server (all volumes)

Back up all volumes if you want to be able to

recover the full server—all the files, data,

applications, and the system state.

Critical volumes

Back up just critical volumes (volumes

containing operating system files) if you only

want to be able to recover the operating system

or system state.

Noncritical volumes

Back up just individual volumes if you only

want to be able to recover files, applications, or

data from that volume.
