Hello,
Does anyone have any documentation regarding Windows Disaster
Recovery? I'm having some problems with restoring System State/registry.
More background:
In the FileSet I do not explicitly have the VSS option enabled,
however in the backup report I see this:

I have a Windows PE boot iso created with a copy of the fd version
7.4.4, when I do a stat client from the director it shows the fd is VSS aware :
restoreclient-fd Version: 7.4.4 (28 September 2016) VSS Linux Cross-compile
Win64
I am able to do a full filesystem restore although I do get some
errors related to (I think) Junction points.
Thanks,
Michel
