Backup and restore handling on XP volumes
SPM does not offer full support for backup and restore of XP volumes by writing a management
signature string to XP volumes managed by SPM. This means that XP volumes must be manually
restored, because the volume's signature state will be “Not Present”. For more information, see
“Backup and restore” (page 17).
