# Configuring System State and 1-Touch Backups for Subclients

System state backups are automatically enabled for the default Windows subclient, which backs up the system state data along with file system data during a Full backup.

Note

For 1-Touch recovery operations, we recommend that you do not create a separate subclient to back up only the system state as restoring only the system state of the client computer may cause inconsistencies. To restore the system state, include the system volume and the system state as your subclient content.

## Before You Begin

- Review the System State Backup Behavior and Restore Limitations for Windows File System Backups.

- For 1-Touch recovery, the subclient backup content must be defined as All contents.

  Your backup must contain all files required to turn on the computer and run applications. Do not filter out any OS directories or application files.

- You must disable 1-Touch recovery for the default Linux subclient before you can enable it for other subclients.

- You cannot enable block-level backups and 1-Touch recovery simultaneously for the same Linux sublcient.
