nrf 116 Posted March 28, 2019 hmmm... feature rich but complex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GavinCampbell 18 Posted March 28, 2019 Installed it yesterday and been playing with it. For my home environment I probably won't use 90% of it, but the 10% i do use I really like. Its nice to centrally manage all my backups from one interface. I don't have to go to each machine and configure each backup independently. A lot of the interface is confusing though. I still don't even know how I can select a machine and just click backup now if I wanted. But I don't do that enough to make it a problem. If I need I can just connect to the computer and manually run the backup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrf 116 Posted April 24, 2019 so I am looking at a smaller variant of this, the windows backup agent. I am hoping it will let me actually restore my c drive unlike windows server backup which is emitting a weird error when it tries to find an image. but still it is very complex - do I back up c drive as a volume or as files plus system.... too many choices. has anyone here actually been able to bmr a server with this stuff? any tips?

nrf 116 Posted January 9 As I've started to incorporate this into my setup as an alternative to Essentials, they show up in the news... I didn't know they were founded by a couple Russians... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/01/09/insight_partners_gobbles_veeam_for_5bn/ I would say allowing only a single backup job in the 'free' tier for windows is a bit chintzy.
