@towndrunk Understand that I’m talking about the Veeam backup agent not Veeam B&R. These are two different products, But they can work together very well. The FOG backup agent is used to backup physical machines to a local disk, CIFS share, or to your Veeam B&R server. It works much like any normal backup tool. From the local machine you can launch a backup or restore a file.
If you want to go the raid imaging route we can do that too. For YOUR raid system you will follow pretty much the raid document I create… 2 years ago (dang) for the intel built in fake-raid controller.

Before I start this, I do have to say that FOG has not been tested to see if it can backup, or even restore a windows 2016 OS. I suppose I could test that in my home lab, but at this point I don’t know if the following process will be able to produce a viable system upon restore.
What you will do is this:
Register that server with FOG.
Go into the host properties for this 2016 server and add in these kernel properies: mdraid=true
Now schedule a capture or deploy (does not matter, we are going to do neither), but before you hit the schedule task button, tick the checkbox to debug.
PXE boot the target system. After a few key presses you will be dropped to a linux command prompt (FOS) on the target computer.
Kind of follow part 3 of the document I linked to find out if mdraid can see your array and what its called. It probably won’t be called md126
