Hi Stefan,

It's possible via Windows Task Scheduler and starting the backup via cmd.

Via Veeam B&R. Check Export as virtual disk type of restore.

Stefan,

Maybe one more option for restoring as a vmdk: You can also create an empty VM and then do a Bare Metal restore to that VM. That is also what some people like to do

Hi Mike,

I tried this yesterday with my Win 10 machine.
The baremetal restore on a VM works fine!

Best regards

Hi,

I'm sorry but I cannot shutdown the pc after a finished backup.
The Backup via windows task scheduler works fine.

How should my .bat file look?

Thank you!

Stefan,

Thanks for the heads up. So, you would like to create a backup monthly and then automatically shut down your computer, is that correct?

Hi Dmitry,

yes, that's correct.
It work's now.

In my .bat file I made a second line with:

'shutdown-s -t 60'

Thank You
