Removable Storage Device Scenario (USB, SD Card and Other)
- The removable storage device must be inserted into a corresponding slot on the computer or connected to the computer.
- The removable storage device must have enough capacity to store the created recovery image. On average, the size of the created recovery image without manually loaded drivers is 500 MB.
- During the recovery image creation, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows formats the removable storage device. If you have important information on the device, create a copy of this data in some other location.
