View products that this article applies to.

Summary

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, and Windows Home Server 2011 do not support client backup on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-based computers that contain a GUID partition table (GPT)-formatted disk.

The client hotfix package adds backup support for UEFI-based computers that contain a GPT-formatted disk. The client hotfix package is part of the server update. When a client computer logs on to the server, the client is automatically updated.
