vmProtect exclude drives/vmdks or ignore independent drives (Linux)

Thread needs solution

Dear Acronis Support,

we're running the latest vmProtect and are saving Linux machines with it. For Linux swap, we use independent hard drives which dont need to be saved (and/or cant be saved with vmProtect). The Backup process is successfull but with warnings. So I'd like to exclude the independent drives or let acronis ignore the drives.

How can I do that?

Thank you and Best Regards

Hi Alexander,

The independent drives are automatically skipped during backup processing, and this event is marked as warning. To avoid the warning you can change the virtual drives back to non-independent and run the backup task. The Linux swap partitions are excluded from the backup automatically. You can verify it by checking the created backup in File Recovery wizard - there will be no swap partition contents.

Thank you.
