Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Backup and Restore Issues with Cluster Shared Volume

Good day,

I am running a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 2 nodes hyper-converged cluster. I am using Storage Spaces Direct to create a Cluster Shared Volume (1 TB virtual hard drive). In order to be accessible on both nodes, it creates a volume path on the C: Drive where my OS is installed.

OS: 120 GB SSD

CSV: 1 TB

The issue: When I backup my C: Drive (by using Windows Backup or any other backup solution), it runs fine. However, when I am trying to restore C: Drive, it says I don't have sufficient space to restore the image and I need at least 1 TB drive (the 1 TB CSV is seen as "part" of C: Drive).

The question: I know my setup can't use a drive letter, but is there a way to "hide" the CSV when performing OS backups?

Thank you!
