Description

Disk name

Indicates the name of the disk, such as Disk 1. The Boot or System disk is always listed as Disk 0.

Disk size

Indicates the current size of the disk.

Controller

Indicates the type of disk controller, such as IDE or SCSI.

Disk type

Indicates the type of disk.

For VMware, the choices are thin or thick.

For Hyper-V, the choices are fixed size or dynamically expanding.

Virtual disk name

Indicates the name that Backup Exec generated for the virtual disk.

Backup Exec generates the name of the disks automatically by adding an underscore and a number at the end of the physical computer name. For example, if the physical computer name is Server1, then the disks are named Server1_1, Server1_2, and so on. The name of the Boot or System disk does not have a number appended to the physical computer name.

Virtual disk location

Indicates the datastore where the VMDK file (for VMware) or the VHD file (for Hyper-V) is placed.
