Backup Jobs consisting of Full Image and FLR

[backupnewbie]

I need the flexibility of having workstation backups that include a full image plus incrementals (in case of hard disk failure) and FLR (Personal Information) in case the anti-virus system causes file damage during it's removal/repair process and I don't want to do a full restore. I'm currently evaluating the Veeam Windows Agent 2.1 (FREE) in the lab. I don't see a way to have a backup scheduled that includes both types of backups. Can this be done if you purchase the licensed version? Do you need Veeam Backup and Replication Version 9.5 Release 3 as well? Or am I asking for something that cannot be done currently how the software is written.

Hi Douglas,

In the current version of the product you can have only one backup job, so having a backup file of the entire computer, you can choose to restore the whole machine or only certain files.
It will be a full backup file plus increments. Thanks!

Since one cannot have more than one backup job scheduled with Veeam Workstation Agent Version 2.1, is it possible to restore individual files from a full image backup? I think I've seen this technology in other products, such as what is now Veritas Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

Yes, you are able to restore individual files from a full image backup. Thanks!

Yes, Thank You for the confirmation. In the lab I was able to later test that ability and it worked fine as you indicated.
