I have 2 drives in my pc, and 2 external portable drives. The first drive is for the OS and programs, the second drive is for data (photos, videos, etc.). My portable drives are big enough to hold the files from a single drive on my PC. So I therefore need to create 2 backup jobs? Does the free edition support this?

[@syafiq3543]

my restore mode when choose entire computer got error, unable yo auto-match disk, please use manual restore mode. any idea how to solve this?

[@drmohel]

Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.] why this error and who I can solve it please !!!!!

How do I make a backup file at 5:53?

[@ioulios12]

This tutorial is better than Veam's. Thank you

[@Heresjaken]

Glad you think so!

[@NeyPereira-w1l]

I did exactly the same process with saving the backup on an external HD, but when I restore the backup the following error appears "restore failed: failed to reload metadata bank. declared and actual crc are different for all bank snapshots, agent failed to process method "

[@edmar.martins]

Thank you for your EXCELLENT tutorial. As said by Hlias X, yours is far better than Veeam's one.

[@Heresjaken]

Glad it helped!

[@jrgarciab]

Wow, man. What an amazing tutorial. Thank you!

[@Heresjaken]

Glad it was helpful! Please share with some friends

[@davidcassidy7238]

Brilliant tutorial - clear and to the point. Many thanks!

[@Heresjaken]

No worries.

[@n.w.aicecube5713]

what the difference with urBackup ? Does it offer file snapshots?

[@grix25]

Excellent tutorial. Thank You :)

[@AnthonyJames7]

Chefs kiss. Thanks mate.

[@MiningShop]

for the SMTP email server setup, there is only a email address but not password for the login part, so how can we setup a correct server?

[@Heresjaken]

There is more options available- this is assuming you have a relay to send smtp

[@Shadoweee]

Great video!

[@Heresjaken]

Thanks!

[@muhammadrais8647]

is free version life time ? or wil be expire when 30 days ?

[@tomwilliam7299]

How much compression veeam give me in backup?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@trautitrauti9094]

Can the client also backup a domain controller? Or will it mess up the ad database?

[@Heresjaken]

Yes you can

[@Vietquat114]

Does it backup Active Directory in Domain Controller windows server 2019 If I choose Backup Full ?

[@user-xt1vs2oz3b]

It will backup the image of the computer at the time the backup runs. This includes Active Directory, however there are other backup software that are Active Directory aware backups and can be used to restore missing, corrupt, or deleted Active Directory objects. This is not that type of backup. It will backup the server entirely and this does include Active directory. To restore Active Directory you would need to restore the entire PC image.

[@Vietquat114]

@@user-xt1vs2oz3b Thanks so much

[@paullicari1871]

Are you able to send the backup to a Veeam backup server if you license the agent?

[@Heresjaken]

Yes you can

[@mohamedelkehaoui5760]

is it possible to backup on one computer and restore files to another one

[@user-xt1vs2oz3b]

Yes, that is the purpose of a backup. Restore files when the computer is lost or files are corrupt/missing.

[@Heresjaken]

Yes

[@johnparks6936]

How do I delete old backups?

[@kahotamph]

Does this prevent bitrot?

[@mahuubao]

Excellent ... well done ...

[@Heresjaken]

Also to you

[@js2240]

very helpful, much appreciated

[@Heresjaken]

No worries, hope you get all of your things backed up well

[@RainellRainLLacson]

Does it work for any Servers?

[@Heresjaken]

Yes this will work on Windows Server. But you are probably better off using B&R for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaW9iZdmjMqpmqc&ab_channel=HERESJAKEN

[@stevedoetsch]

So how do you restore the backup when your computer is not working? That's why you made them back up in the first place. I always wonder what these tutorial people are thinking when they show how to do image restores from a perfectly working computer.

[@-se]

He did demonstrate that at 12:08 You used a recovery media (anything from cd to flash drive works), basically you can run the tools from recovery media without needing windows.

[@aliworkout2341]

Perfect video thanks

[@mikegraham4255]

over 9 gigs?

[@abdoubenahmed6957]

ur the best ;)

[@drjimbarnes]

Will Veeam Agent back up my Windows Server 2012 (I just want a server backup, not clients) or should I get the Community Edition?

[@drjimbarnes]

... duh, I suppose your video title answers my question. Sorry

[@fairuzsholih3573]

Thank you

[@zibbbityhibbity]

Anyone using this for base image deployment? Does it work like that?

[@Heresjaken]

No

[@Heresjaken]

It is not for that

[@coinbird44]

NOICE!

[@agoogleuser5976]

#1 PROBLEM WITH VEEAM AGENT (FREE & PAID) IS NO PRE-BOOT RECOVERY! MUST LOAD CD/DVD OR USB STICK. Only Veeam Backup & Recovery has the pre-boot recovery environment from memory. ⭐ALTERNATIVES? ⭐Paragon HDM! 💾 AOMEI Backupper! 💽 Macrium Reflect! 💾

[@ИгорьПопов-н9я]

Good

[@eugenematsetska8406]

If nfs or nass error happened Solution is just enter the pass for nas and press next)))

[@ivanzivanovic4013]

if there was only directions to recover to a brand new disk

[@Heresjaken]

Boot to the recovery media - restore to new disk

[@papa.alfredo]

a share folder not found? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@eugenematsetska8406]

I did found this video because this error was happened)) Solution - just enter the pass for nas and press next)))

[@anil349]

not support server os

[@user-xt1vs2oz3b]

Yes it will. You just won't have the ability to backup to OneDrive as they reserve that ability for "home users" and a server is considered a business use case. It doesn't matter really, because starting in version 6 they are removing the backup to OneDrive feature.
