Note:

Creating new legacy SRT on BMR 7.6.x and later boot server is not supported.

* An SRT is expected to require around 640 MB in excess of these sizes, when exported. Also, to be able to export or import an SRT, a minimum of 1.4 GB additional space is needed on C:\ drive as it acts as a temporary storage till the import/export process is complete and the SRT is successfully imported on or exported to the target location.
