Hi Loïc.

There is no such option in the UI, but you can create a custom task in Windows Task Scheduler and run this task when user logs in. From Veeam Agent for Windows perspective you only need to configure the backup job, disable the schedule and use the command line in task schedule to start the job at desired event.

hello
yes, but to deploy on all PCs, you must manually create a scheduled task for each user with his account and password. It is not easy to do a global deployment on a fleet of PCs.
Could this feature be integrated into the product?
thank you
