Boot volume Type or select: [BOOT] Refers to the registered machine's boot
volume.
The boot volume contains the Windows
folder and the supporting files for the
Windows operating system (typically
located in the Windows\System32 folder).
It may or may not be the same as the
system volume.
If multiple operating systems are installed
on the computer, this is the boot volume of
the operating system in which the agent is
working.
For more details, see "Note on Windows
machines" below.
All fixed volumes Type or select: [Fixed Volumes] Refers to all volumes other than removable
media. Fixed volumes include volumes on

What does a disk or volume backup store?
For supported file systems, a disk or volume backup stores only those sectors that contain data. This
reduces the resulting backup size and speeds up the backup and recovery operations.
Windows
The swap file (pagefile.sys) and the file that keeps the RAM content when the machine goes into
hibernation (hiberfil.sys) are not backed up. After recovery, the files will be re-created in the
appropriate place with the zero size.
A volume backup stores all other files and folders of the selected volume independent of their
attributes (including hidden and system files), the boot record, the file allocation table (FAT) if it
exists, the root and the zero track of the hard disk with the master boot record (MBR). The boot
code of GPT volumes is not backed up.
A disk backup stores all volumes of the selected disk (including hidden volumes such as the
vendor's maintenance partitions) and the zero track with the master boot record.
