server volume(s) os have an unsupported file system
Hello All.
After installing a PowerEdge T110 II server with windows 2012, using the dell's server procedure, I found out when I tried to do full server backup that I cannot because there is a 2 GB FAT32 Dell partition in the system that prevents me for doing the bakup. The error message is (server volume(s) os have an unsupported file system).
How to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Reinstall not using SMTD/SBUU - the Dell diagnostics and recovery partition won't be installed.

That is not an option, server is in production. Thanks for the time to reply though

Sounded like you had just built it and were running your first pre-production baseline backup.
Because the partition is not necessary, you can remove it, but there is a chance - small but it is there - that you will need to do a Startup Repair of Windows after doing so. Be sure you have some type of a backup before attempting it, as messing with partitions sometimes isn't as straightforward as it appears.
