If we have established backups for a server, and we add an additional disk to said server, will and should Veeam automatically recognize and start backing up the newly added disk?

Hi bp4JC,
If you selected the complete machine, new disks are automatic detected and added to the backup. Only if you specify dedicated disks, the selection will remain the same when adding additional disks.

+9I have to be careful because I manually exclude disks on specific servers.
That being said under disk exclusions you have a few options
Process all disks (This is the default)
- New disks will be added automatic
Disk 0:0 only
- New disks will not be added
Selected disks
- New disks will not be added
