Recovery Media and back question

[dasm0kinone]

Hello,

I have 4 different computers and would like to know the best way to back them up and to do a restore. Would I have to create 4 different recovery media(s) to a flash drive(s)? or can I save the recovery media some how to my NAS and restore it back to a USB when needed? Also is there a way to set up the back up to do full image backups at certain intervals then delete the old using this software? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the community Jordan,

Would I have to create 4 different recovery media(s) to a flash drive(s)? or can I save the recovery media some how to my NAS and restore it back to a USB when needed?

You can create a Recovery Media on a USB stick or same the RE image as iso and 'burn' it as bootable media later.

Also is there a way to set up the back up to do full image backups at certain intervals then delete the old using this software?

By default agent is running in forever forward incremental backup mode (that means first job run is full backup and the rest is incremental). With periodic active full option you can select when you need to create periodic full backup. Cheers!

Thank you for that info. One more question. Can I set up the back up to delete old versions? Or will I have to do that manually?

Veeam agent by default works in Forever-Forward Incremental mode, meaning we will create a Full backup followed by Incremental backups(backup changes only). And Veeam will automagically clean up older restore points when we reach specified Retention in Backup Job settings. So you don't have to worry about it!
/Cheers!
