Feature request: Veeam EndPoint for laptops

[blanchet]

I would be nice if Veeam Endpoint could be use to backup also laptops, and not only servers and workstations.
Backing up laptop is more difficult than servers because laptops are not always online.
Actually, if the laptop is shutdown or disconnected during the backup transfer, the backup fails and must be restarted from scratch.
Using forever incremental backup, is not a solution, because incremental backup can be big ( >200GB) and then never complete.

Microsoft uses Windows Update use Background Intelligent Transfer Service to download (large) Windows Update, and it works very well.
Veeam needs something similar to transfer backup to the server.
If Veeam EndPoint could resume a data transfer like Windows Update does, then Veeam Endpoint could be use to backup laptops.

Backup cache is the feature you are looking for.
Backup from your laptop is done to a cache. As soon you are connected to your vbr server, the restore points are uploaded to it automatically:

Happy to help
If I remember correctly, this feature was introduced with Veeam Agent 2.0 in the year 2017.
