I agree with B.No. Because C drive can't be used for backup destination. Following link says that "you can’t save backup files in C:\ drive". https://www.tactig.com/backup-windows-server/

Panda! Don't do me wrong, you've been so helpful in the 742. But I gotta disagree. Mounting is not the same as having a folder within C:\. "You can use Disk Management to mount (make a drive accessible) in a folder rather than a drive letter if you want. This makes the drive appear as just another folder. You can mount drives only in empty folders on basic or dynamic NTFS volumes." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/disk-management/assign-a-mount-point-folder-path-to-a-drive If I give you a screenshot I would. try it out yourself. The icon isn't a folder, but a drive mounted. I never knew about this until just now. The correct answer is Yes.

I also agree that A is correct. A mounted volume will appear as an entirely new volume with associated drive letter in Windows. So the fact that it is on the C: drive should not matter.

My understand why C drive can't be used as backup destination is that it always has some files and folders. When mounting a volume , it's empty, to a folder on C drive, the volume is empty. So it can be used as backup target.

Looking through this question again. I still agree with A. I think this question is mostly about understanding how mounted volumes work.

In reality its a better practice to backup to a separate volume altogether, there is no benefit in mounting a volume to the C drive. That is a bit counter intuitive, especially if your actually backing up the C drive which is the system volume....I actually work as I.T. pro and my answer in this case would be NO!

...But in theory an NTFS volume as in the question supports incremental...but I still would say NO in practice.

If it's a server and you want to backup ALL the data then it's probably going to be over 4GB, unless it's nano server.

It does support but FAT32 is max 4GB. The question should specify what the size is, although at server level it would definitely be a No https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/WINDOWS/en-US/ca546a8f-efb6-43c9-9715-3f2027b9e559/incremental-backup?forum=ws2016

The answer is no. FAT 32 doesn’t support incremental back ups. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/WINDOWS/en-US/ca546a8f-efb6-43c9-9715-3f2027b9e559/incremental-backup?forum=ws2016
