Veeam employee here. Fantastic tutorial you have here! It randomly came up in my feed and I decided I'd watch it to see if it was accurate or not. You were spot on about everything you covered.

Best guide out for the Veeam windows agent, simple but thorough.

Good review on how to install it and how to restore! Surprising that this program is free. Cheers!

how i can install on usb the veeam and make backup to another hdd ?

[TheTCPTalk]

Hey does this also back up every file on my windows? And if I want to restore the pc do I need the new pc to have the same hardware configuration as my current one for the backup to work?

This guy is like Harry Potter but on steroids.

Is there a benefit in using Veeam software to restore a system via a bootable drive versus using Window's version of it? In other words, if I have a windows image backup and a separate bootable recovery USB, then that should do the same job as the Bare Metal restore?

will the recovery media allow you to connect to one drive if you have your backups stored there or will you need to find a way to copy it locally first before attempting a boot media restore?

could this agent be used to create a golden image for deployment on my home systems?

I have a question: what kind of media do you need for a VeeAM backup? I bought a Samsung SSD, but I get the error message that this has an exFAT file system that isn't supported.

Don't bother with this program. It only gives me errors when I try to backup my computer. "Error: The semaphore timeout period has expired. Asynchronous read operation failed Failed to upload disk. Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: The semaphore timeout period has expired. Asynchronous read operation failed Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [70022]. Failed to download disk."
