File system backups of deduplicated and SIS volumes

Use the Windows File System plug-in to back up Windows deduplicated volumes on Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012. You can select to back up optimized files in either an optimized or unoptimized state. This step is done by using the Perform a Windows Optimized Backup of a Windows Deduplicated volume checkbox in the Backup Command Line Options. If you back up files in an optimized state, then you can restore the files in either an optimized or unoptimized state. You must select the entire Windows deduplicated volume for backup. However, you can restore individual folders and files from the volume backup. You can only restore files from a Windows deduplicated volume to the original location or to another Windows Server 2019, 2016, or 2012 computer with Windows deduplicated volumes.

Use the Windows File System plug-in to back up SIS volumes on Windows Storage Server 2008 and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. Similar to Windows deduplicated volumes, you must select the entire SIS volume for backup. However, you can restore individual folders and files from the volume backup.
