Hello ADSM-L, The documentation for backup and recovery of Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and Microsoft Windows 10 has been recently updated to include additional information needed to successfully recover systems using the version 7.1.8 (and later 7.1.x) client, and the version 8.1.2 (and later) client. In particular, starting with those client versions, WMI is added to the WinPE image.
The documentation for recovery of earlier Microsoft Windows versions has been similarly updated.
