In the previous article we discussed about “Installation of Veeam Endpoint Backup“, today we’ll see how to configure for the regular backups to run.

Configuring Veeam Backup Step by Step :

Once you click on Configure Backup it will Scan local Partitions and Volumes….. as shown below

 

After scanning is done it will open windows with options

Entire Computer (recommended)

Volume level Backup

File Level Backup (Slower)

as shown below:

In my scenario I’ve selected option 1 : Entire Computer

After selecting Option 1 Click Next

It will take to another windows where you need to select the device  or location for storing the backup files or folders.

I’ve selected Local Storage

Note: Selecting local storage is not recommended as it’s my lab selected for testing

If you are doing in Production you can go with “Veeam Backup & Replication repository” or dedicated File Server.

After Selecting click Next

It will prompt you to select the storage device that you want to keep the backup files.

Note: By default it will take last 14 days to keep restore points when the computer used.

I have selected Drive E: and browse the path.

Click Next

After the selecting the days require to keep the restore points click Next

By default is 14 Days for the backup to retain

In my scenario I have selected 30 days to retain the Backup

After selected the required options Click Next

After selecting the storage device….

Scheduling the backup configure it according to your requirement.

In my scenario I am going with Incremental Backup which is Daily Backup.

Also according to your requirement you can go with Full Backup.

If you are selecting the backup to happen on specific days then select the below option

Click Save

Once you save it will give detailed Summary….. as shown below:

Click Finish

Now you can go and check in the Drive E: it will show the backup status in details:

Now back to Windows Home Page and select the Option “Veeam Endpoint Backup“

 

This will take you to Monitor Page

 

Select the Status Tab  -> Click Backup Now

Click Backup Now
