Veeam Agent notification before shutdown

[Vedran]

Hi,

is there an option to warn a user if he was going to shut down a machine that is currently in the process of backup?

best regards

Hello and welcome to the community Vedran,

Unfortunately there is no such notification in Veeam Agent for Windows. Cheers!

Is there any other way to prevent shutting down a machine that is currently doing backup?

Hi Vedran,

Nope, there are no special tools for the purpose.
The only way is to ask users to keep machines online during the scheduled backup time.

Thanks!

Overall there is a way to block shutdown completely via computer policy but you are the one to decide if that will work for your environment or not. Cheers!
