I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 on an IBM x3530 M4 server. I'm trying to do a full bare metal backup to a local volume, which is presented from a SAN.
The backup fails stating that there isn't enough disk space. This is very misleading as the OS on the C:\ is only taking up 15GB and the free Space on the SAN volume is 800GB.
From doing a little reading online i have found others who have had problems backing up Recovery Partitions, click here. So i just did a backup of the C:\ to the same SAN volume and that works fine so i have a feeling this is something to do with the Recovery Partition. I also have a partition which is called the EFI System Partition which i'm unsure what this is. Below is a screen grab of the Disk Management on the system. Can someone give me a way to do a full Bare Metal backup without having to reinstall the whole OS. Thanks
