I have Windows Server 2008 and I tried to make a system state backup of it. For some reason it wants to include the D drive too for the backup. This is not that nice, since there are Hyper-V VMs on that disk (200GB worth), so the backup would cause them
to be included and some of them to go into saved state for some time. I only want to have the C drive included, as with all the other machines. I also have E and F drives and the backup will not backup them to system state. So there's something strange about
D.
I have not installed any applications on D, there is no pagefile, nothing there. Sysvol, boot volume etc are C. Only my own files are on D. I have searched the registry and the only thing I found pointing to D was one service. Could this be the reason why
the backup is wanting to include the whole D drive?
Is there some documentation to explain how file to be saved in system state is determined? I have searched and searched and found nothing.
