Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a simple, standalone agent that delivers backup and recovery for Windows servers and workstations running in the public cloud, for physical Windows servers and workstations, and endpoints running on‑premises.

It delivers all-new functionality to give you features and capabilities unheard of in a FREE desktop backup, and data recovery solution:

■	Active full backups: Meet your company policy by scheduling the periodic active full backup in backup job
■	Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure: Restore or migrate on‑premises, Windows-based physical server and endpoint backups directly into Microsoft Azure
■	Windows Server 2016 support: Get full support for Microsoft Windows Server 2016

You can visit the web site to read more on this amazing tool. Full support for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.  Free Windows backup for desktops and laptops.  So much more is available for you and your business.

Now just to be clear, for extra functionality, Veeam Agent for Windows must be coupled with their  Backup & Replication, which adds complexity and extra cost. Yes, these agents could be used as standalone solutions, but their functionality is limited by design.  That is where the word free comes in.  You get what you paid for but it is a start to test out and see if Veeam does fit your business as well as budget.

Now you can go with Acronis or Unitrends but as you add on servers, workstations, etc. the cost alone can hit you hard.  You must test out the software for the best overall solution and security for your business.  Backups are extremely important in this time of need due to the amount of computer hackers and thieves.  Our recommendation is to test out each piece for your location to see what is the best overall solution.
