Manually Backing Up Individual Agent Managed Workstations

[huddie]

Hi.

We have several workstations in a Job and Protection Group for agent managed backups on workstations. Scheduling is enabled and working, however, I need the ability to remotely trigger backups from the VBR server for individual workstations. I've heard this can be done by logging onto the individual workstation and running Veeam.Endpoint.Backup /backup, however, I can't console onto the workstations remotely. Is there any way of triggering individual workstation backups remotely from the VBR server and, if so, how ? Details below. Note I can trigger backups manually at the minute, but only for all workstations in the Protection Group, not individual ones.

Veeam B&R Server: v11.0.1.1261 on Windows Server 2019 v1809.
On-prem repository: v11 on RHEL v8.4, hardened, immutable, no desktop.
Workstations: Veeam Agent v5.0.3.4708 on Windows 10 v1909 x64.

Hi Paul,

Did you try Quick Backup?

Thanks!

I did. There is no Quick Backup option.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for the update and sorry for the delay! I wonder if re-running the job is not the option? You've mentioned that you have the job with entire protection group set as a source for the backup job, right?

Thanks Dima. Just like there is no 'quick backup' option in Veeam B&R, there also is no 'retry job' option.

Hi all. I still can't trigger individual workstation backups from VB&R Console. How do I do this ? Can it be done from the Veeam PowerShell ?
