Backing up GPT
We are backing up and replicating about 7TB out to our DR Avamar grid. However, when I try and backup one of the GPT drives it reports back as empty. Do I need an extra plugin for GPT drives?

Hello,
I checked with TSE, GPT is not supported only for System State backup. If you are taking VM image level backup, GPT should be backed up. Could you please post error logs here, that would be helpful to understand the issue.
And yes, Avamar does not support GPT FLR.
The following virtual disk configurations are not supported for FLR:
• Unformatted disks
• Dynamic disks (Windows) / Multi-Drive Partitions (that is, any partition that
consists of 2 or more virtual disks)
• GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks
• FAT16 file systems
• FAT32 file systems
• Deduplicated NTFS
• Resilient File System (ReFS)
• EFI bootloader
• Extended partitions (Types: 05h, 0Fh, 85h, C5h, D5h)
• Encrypted partitions
• Compressed partitions
