There are two types of partition tables. Master Boot Record (MBR) and GUID Partition Tables (GPT).

CDP does support protecting file systems on both MBR and GPT.
CDP supports the protection of file systems on both MBR and GPT. Specifically, CDP will replicate file systems on GPT partitions, BMR file systems on GPT file systems, and restore files from file systems on GPT.

You can replicate file systems on GPT partitions, BMR file systems on GPT file systems, and restore files from file systems on GPT.
However, CDP does not automatically re-create the partition table for GPT. In order to achieve a successful restore for GPT, the admin will need to use common utilities before performing a file system BMR or image restore. This limitation will be addressed in a future version of CDP.

What we do not currently do for GPT that we do for MBR type partition tables is the automatic re-creation of the partition table itself. Meaning that the partition table must be re-created by the admin using common utilities before performing a file system BMR or image restore. We have plans to add support for the automatic re-creation of GPT partition tables in the future, at this time there is no release or time frame on when that would be available. The following article should be helpful in manual recreation of GPT partition table. R1Soft BMR LiveCD does include the 'parted' utility.
The following article provides instructions for the manual recreation of GPT partition table. R1Soft BMR LiveCD includes the 'parted' utility mentioned in these instructions.
