Cbt with extended volume

#1

hi:
if I need to extend cbt protected volume like below:

  1. shutdown windows. extend the raw disk volume.
  2. startup windows, extend the ntfs volume at disk manager.

will cbt notice the extend ntfs volume? or how can I disable and re-enable cbt (reset all the status) for safety?

It will notice the extented volume as soon as something gets written beyond the currently allocated size. Then it’ll disable itself, and automatically re-engage with a larger size (CBT gets reset though, so full scan on next backup).

So in short, it’ll handle the volume extension.

thanks a lot for the info!

since it needs reset, can I reset it manually after extending volume?
