I was just wondering what the recovery scenario would be when using a CloudDrive drive as the server backup target disk under Windows Server 2016 Essentials, particularly with regards to doing a bare metal restore. My assumption is that the CloudDrive would have to be mounted on another system, along with the disk being restored to, do the recovery, then boot off of the restored disk. Someone please confirm or deny whether my assumption is correct. Furthermore, if that is the recovery scenario, would it theoretically be possible to have a WinPE based boot disk that has a version of CloudDrive baked in that would allow a more seamless recovery, and if so is that something someone with a little more skill working with images would be willing to make?
