3 Workstation backups
3.1 Introduction
GFI Backup Agents with a workstation license can back up data from systems that are not
running a server type of OS, for example, Microsoft Windows 7. Agents running under a
workstation license cannot, for example, be used to backup Microsoft SQL Server data. This
chapter describes the tasks that can be performed when the GFI Backup Agent is licensed
as a workstation.

drive or partition:
