What is Veeam Backup Agent?

The agent is installed directly on the system being protected and can create backups at different levels—from a complete system image to individual disks, volumes, or files. Veeam Agent protects physical servers, workstations, and cloud-based virtual machines at the operating-system level.

Backups can be performed manually or automatically according to a schedule. Backup files created with Veeam Agent can be stored in various Veeam repositories, whether on-premises or cloud-based, and quickly restored when necessary. Supported destinations may also include network shares, external drives, and object storage. For full system recovery, including bare-metal restoration, users can boot the computer from Veeam Recovery Media and restore the system from a backup.
