Password Protect

[turkerol]

Hello Veeam Endpoint.

Is it possible to put password protection to prevent Backup program to prevent the removal or closure by the user?

[Dima P.]

Hello and welcome to the community,

Are you referring to the ability to protect Veeam Endpoint Backup's settings from 'reconfiguration' or to the backup file encryption? Thanks

[turkerol]

no, I do not say it.
Do you have a password protection to prevent the closure veeam.endpoint.tray.ex?

[Dima P.]

Now I get it - thanks! There is no built-in mechanism to prevent end user from changing the settings or disabling the backup. However, you can limit access with regular AD permissions (for instance, you may set VEB under local admin account and limit the regular user’s permissions)

[turkerol]

thank you. If this property is very nice. thanks again

By the way backup file encryption is strongly requested

[Dima P.]

Thanks Jan. By the way, you can use backup encryption now while backing up to VBR Repository.

But this password protection was available on first versions of veeam personal ? Why it was removed?

Hello JM,

Such feature never existed in Veeam Agent for Windows. Possibly you have another product / functionality in mind? Thank you!

Yes it existed, I had PCs's protected with it for my client. It was very first version
