Dynamic and basic volumes support limitations
Dell AppAssure supports taking snapshots of all dynamic and basic volumes. AppAssure also supports
exporting simple dynamic volumes that are on a single physical disk. Simple dynamic volumes are not
striped, mirrored or spanned volumes.
Dynamic disks (except simple dynamic disks as previously described) are not available for selection in the
Export Wizard. Non-simple, dynamic volumes have arbitrary disk geometries that cannot be fully
interpreted. AppAssure therefore does not support the export of complex or non-simple dynamic
volumes.
Managing exports
On the Virtual Standby tab in the Core Console, you can view the status of exports that you have set up,
including one-time exports and continuous exports for virtual standby. On this tab, you can manage
exports by pausing, stopping, removing exports, or viewing a queue of upcoming exports.
NOTE: Only the Dell DL1000, 3 TB with 2 VMs configuration supports the one-time export and
continuous export (virtual standby) capabilities.

after a new transfer, the export job will not start automatically and there will be
no new Virtual Standby exports for this agent.
