You would need to install a central product like they are trying to upsell you to or if you only want to backup files (not the whole OS) then you could share the drives or folders as visible "shares" and back them up over the network. Most backup software let's you backup shares (though I can't say I've tested it with VEEAM). Most centralized backup systems are pretty expensive so if you want full OS backups on the cheap you'd be better off this route. EDIT: There is a "community edition" of VEEAM Backup & Replication that is free and offers the ability to backup up to 10 remote VM or physical machines. For the physical machines you would need to at least install an agent on that machine. That usually just means installing a quick EXE that reports back to the central machine and allows it to get in and grab all the local data.
Is this backup method is safe from randsomware ? I don’t want to sync my family pictures but I want a backup with multiple versions in time. So if there a problem, I can go back in time and restore my precious pictures, like the day before my pictures get lock ?
So in a sense yes and no. By default it does not have any named protections against ransonware. However, if your aware of the date of infection it does have the ability to have daily or even more intervals of backup and you can choose from a backup that was before the infection.
The best way to protect against ransom ware is to have two rotating backup targets at least. So you have one full backup on one JBOD (drive array) and then you swap out the next month (or week) to the next JBOD. This keeps at least one semi-recent backup offline and disconnected from the network. Even more ideal: have that send JBOD stored at a neighbors house across the street in case of a house fire for double disaster recovery (of course this might not help for something like flooding or hurricanes)
man, backing up is more complicated than i thought it was gonna be. I got a 5TB external to backup my system and\or files on my PC recently... I've been trying to read and figure out what software to use. I have 3 internal drives in my PC, 500GB OS drive, 1TB and 2TB storage drives. would be cool to backup the whole thing (3 drives and all), but I'm afraid I'm gonna set it up wrong and run out of room real quick. I produce music, one hard drive is like 800GB of samples and sound libraries... that alone would overfill a 5TB drive that kept consecutive copies for a week or whatever. would be nuts to backup that much data everyday to though... i guess I just need to jump in the thing and start backing stuff up and make changes when\were I need to.
You might want to get a 4 drive RAID enclose and start out with two or three 4TB drives in them (which you usually can buy separate for about $80 each). Then use that as your backup target where you push your backups too. Also push your current and critical finished project content to a cloud backup location so that it's less data overall going to the cloud. Using the differential tactics the OP mentions even 8TB should hold you for now but you'd only have one full backup at a time. So maybe go with 3 drives. That or just straight to 6TB drives to be a bit safer.
Yes! You could use this to create a full bootable version of your OS in the event of hardware failure or even lost device and bring everything up the way you had it at last backup.
If someone from Veeam does not contact me soon I plan on doing a RUclips video telling people my story about how good their "free" software is and how they ingore people that have issues with it!!!! Without a business email people have no chance to get help.
I was going to use this but found it overly complicated for what most people need. Also, it took me almost 30 minutes to uninstall all the programs it required to work. Thanks anyway. Oh, and definately dont give them your phone number. Called me twice today before I even had a chance to install.

Awesome tutorial. Explained in a very methodic and easy to understand way. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial, you were very thorough in explaining.
Excellently presented. Well done
Thanks it immensely helped me setup my back up system
Can this create images of computers for setting up various workstations with the same setup?
Great Video. Thank you!
Thanks . Very clear
Great Video, keep on giong
This looks really sick for a free software 😍. Thanks for the video.
I agree! Thanks for watching! 🙂
I love Veeam free backup software and could not find the cost of the full version for a standalone PC (home use).
Hi Gr8 tutorial. I have one question for you. How do I backup selective data on my network drive connected to the PC?
Thanks for the video.. My question is how can you backup multiple PCs without necessarily installing the agent on each of them?

does it do incremental backups?

Set to monthly backup for the full backup?
Up to you! The full backup just takes longer so I like to run that one less often.
Can I set backup to a specific cloud Service?
With this app you can but I believe that is part of the paid tier. You can set it to something like OneDrive.
can you make images of complete systems?
Yes! You could use this to create a full bootable version of your OS in the event of hardware failure or even lost device and bring everything up the way you had it at last backup.
Why is the download over 9GB?

Not freeware!!!

What did it require you to uninstall?
Thanks . Very clear
