1. A method for managing non-snappable volumes comprising: detecting a backup process of a virtual machine; identifying a virtual disk associated with the virtual machine when the backup process is detected; determining whether a non-snappable volume is associated with the virtual disk; mapping information associated with the virtual disk into mount point information to allow analysis of the non-snappable volume and obtaining metadata about content of the non-snappable volume when it is determined that the non-snappable volume is associated with the virtual disk; analyzing the non-snappable volume via the mapped information and metadata, using at least one computer processor, to determine whether the non-snappable volume contains application data, wherein determining whether the non-snappable volume contains application data comprises: identifying one or more files associated with an application of the virtual machine; and determining whether at least one of the one or more files are present on the non-snappable volume; performing one or more responsive actions in the event the non-snappable volume is determined to contain application data, wherein performing one or more responsive actions in the event the non-snappable volume is determined to contain application data comprises providing a notification to a user during initiation or configuration of a backup that the non-snappable volume will not be backed up, and wherein the user notification provides a warning to the user through a user interface; and ignoring the non-snappable volume in the event the non-snappable volume is determined not to contain application data.
