System state backup or 1-Touch recovery are enabled by automatically for default subclients or backupsets created after January 10, 2025. The default subclient backs up the system state data along with file system data during a Full backup.
Note
For 1-Touch recovery operations, we recommend that you do not create a separate subclient to back up only the system state as restoring only the system state of the client computer may cause inconsistencies. To restore the system state, include the system volume and the system state as your subclient content.
Before You Begin
-
Review the System State components for the Windows file system.
-
For 1-Touch recovery, we recommend that the subclient backup content be defined as All. To exclude contents, use global or subclient filters.
-
You must disable 1-Touch recovery for the default Linux subclient before you can enable it for other subclients.
-
You cannot enable block-level backups and 1-Touch recovery simultaneously for the same Linux sublcient.
