Resume jobs after sleep?

[Johnny L]

Hello,

We have a possible reseller that sells backup to a lot of consultants who, apparently, uses their computers 5 minutes at a time. They raised a valid question that I am unable to answer completely:

If a PC goes to sleep, can the backup agent resume the backup job afterwards or will it try do to a complete retry (which it doesn't have time to do)?

This is for file-level backups so using backup-cache is not an option (why? ), but I guess the same question could be applied when using backup-cache as well.

Hello,
yes, we have resume since Veeam Agent for Windows 4.0 (see limitations in the answer from Roman - we are figuring out on documentation changes)

Correct, backup-cache is not available for file-based backup. As so often with missing features, the reason is a lack of resources

Best regards,
Hannes

Hello Johnny,

Please be advised that in the case of the hibernation and sleep modes the "smart resume" logic works only for Local / CIFS / OneDrive backup targets, according to our QC. You need to use volume-level backups to be able to utilize this logic for the backups targeting backup repositories or Cloud Connect.

Thanks
