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.
Type or select: [Fixed Volumes]
Refers to all volumes other than removable
media. Fixed volumes include volumes on
SCSI, ATAPI, ATA, SSA, SAS and SATA
devices, and on RAID arrays.
Refers to the first disk of the registered
machine, including all volumes on that disk.

Note on Windows machines
Windows operating systems prior to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 keep system files and
the loader on the same volume, unless a different volume has been specified during the system
installation. If Windows files and the loader are on the same volume, selecting either [SYSTEM] or
[BOOT] is enough to back up the entire operating system. Otherwise, select both [SYSTEM] and
[BOOT].
Operating systems starting from Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 create a dedicated system
volume called System Reserved. If you select [SYSTEM], only this dedicated volume will be backed
up. Always select both [SYSTEM] and [BOOT] when backing up machines running these operating
systems.
Because centralized backup plans usually include multiple machines with various operating systems,
Acronis recommends that you always select both the system and the boot volumes for backup. This
ensures the integrity of every operating system.
