See which volumes are not included in a backup (and why)

With the release of x360Recover v 10.10.0 (along with agent release 2.30),  the UI on the protected system now displays the list of volumes not included in a backup (for whatever reason) - along with an explanation of why these volumes were not included.

Being able to see which volumes are not included (and why) should make it easier to explicitly configure volumes you do wish to be backed up. (You can now use agent orchestration  - without having to physically log in to a protected system to examine the disk configurations.)

Where do I see which volumes are not included in a backup?  

Volumes not included in a backup are listed on the top-level Protected Systems page (in the Volumes column): 

• The mount point names of volumes which are NOT included in a backup are shown in brackets in the VOLUMES column. 

In the example above:

• volumes C and E are included in backups
• volumes [K, Z, J and I ]  are not included in the current backup configuration.

Where do I see why this volume is not included in backups?

On the Protected System Details page, the display shows (a) volumes included in backups, as well as (b) volumes not included in backups.

Volumes not included in a backup display more detail, including a reason (in clear English) why this volume is not included in the backup:

Reasons why a volume might not be included in a backup

There are many possible reasons a volume might not be included inthe backup, such as

•  unsupported format
• explicitly not included by the configuration
• automatic exclusions (for example, appliance iSCSI mounts or Recovery Center virtual disks).
