Will adding a drive letter to the recovery partition cause issues?

Hi,

I have (hopefully) an easy question to answer?

We backup a number of Windows 2012 & 2016 servers using an older backup application that pre-dates these server OS's. The software can back them up ok, however it mentions that these servers contain a recovery partition and in order to back them up and later restore them correctly, they need to have a drive letter assigned.

Given this is a system reserved partition, I'm a little wary of assigning a drive letter to them in case it ends up causing issues with the server now or down the track.

I've searched around to see if there's any advice either for or against doing this, but with no luck.

Can anyone out there advise if this is a good or bad thing to do?

Cheers.
