#1 Backup and recovery for Microsoft Windows
Due to various factors, including complex hardware configurations and regulatory compliance requirements, some physical servers and workstations cannot be virtualized. And everyday occurrences such as lapses in connectivity, hardware failures, file corruption — even ransomware or theft — can leave an organization’s data at risk.
NEW Veeam® Agent for Microsoft Windows — a key component of the
Veeam Availability Platform — solves these issues by closing the gap that some enterprises face with large, heterogeneous or multi-cloud environments and further enables workload mobility by delivering Availability for Windows-based workstations, physical servers and cloud instances.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is built on the extremely successful Veeam Endpoint Backup™ FREE and includes three editions — Workstation, Physical Server and Cloud Instance — with additional features designed to ensure the Availability of your Windows workloads by providing backup and recovery for physical and cloud-based workloads, as well as endpoint devices that belong to remote users.
With Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, you get:
- Enterprise-level backup and recovery: Get complete protection for both workstations and Windows-based servers — even those running in the cloud — including full application awareness
- Physical backups off site: Back up Windows-based workloads off site to a cloud service provider through Veeam Cloud Connect and more
- Protection of roaming endpoints: Meet recovery point objectives (RPOs) for laptops and tablets outside the corporate network
- And much more!
Part of the Veeam Availability Platform
Veeam Backup & Replication™ provides fast, flexible and reliable recovery of fully virtualized VMs and data running on-premises or in private cloud architectures. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, however, is another key component of the Veeam Availability Platform and should be used for workloads that Veeam Backup & Replication cannot protect, such as:
- Desktops, laptops and tablets
- Physical servers running on-premises
- Cloud-based workloads running in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other public clouds
- VMs running on-premises with physical raw device mapping (pRDM) disks (pRDM) or on non-ESXi/Hyper-V hosts (e.g., KVM, etc.)
- File-level backup to disk

Endpoint protection for your entire workforce
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is great for endpoint devices whether they’re in the office, at home or on the road. However, ensuring Availability for remote users outside the corporate network can be a significant challenge — one that puts an enormous amount of vital business data at risk, especially when help isn’t always right around the corner.
Fortunately, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows helps organizations overcome many everyday challenges such as lapses in connectivity, hardware failures, file corruption — even ransomware or theft — that can impact employees no matter where they are, including:
- USB backupNEW: Incrementally back up USB hard drives to ensure your workstations and their critical data are protected
- CryptoLocker protection for USB devices: Protect backup files residing on USB-based backup storage from potential CryptoLocker-type threats by automatically ejecting the backup storage immediately after a successful backup is completed
- Endpoint protection for mobile usersNEW: Back up to a local cache when the target is not available and sync with your cached backups once the connection has been reestablished
- Daily schedule and backup events: Protect laptops and desktops daily or based on user activity via backup events
- And more!
