Screenshots

Pick this if you want a full-system image of your Windows PC without paying a license fee.

It suits home users and small-office workstations that need a way back after a dead drive or a bad update.

It runs on Windows 10 and 11, and its bootable recovery media lets you restore a whole machine, not only loose files.

Expect to spend a few minutes choosing a backup type and a destination before the first run.

What is Veeam Agent?

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a backup program from Veeam, a company better known for data protection software in server rooms. It began life as Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE.

It saves disk images or selected files to a location you choose, as restore points you can go back to. The edition listed here is free and aimed at individual machines.

Entire computer, single volume or just files: picking the backup mode

The entire computer mode captures the system drive and everything on it, so a restore brings back Windows, programs and settings together.

Volume-level mode saves only the drives you tick, and file-level mode saves chosen folders. The file mode is lighter, but it cannot rebuild a PC that no longer boots.

Tip: if the PC holds a game library or a large media folder you can replace, exclude it from the job to keep backups small.

Schedules that react to lock, logoff or shutdown

Besides a fixed daily time, a job can run when the computer is locked or when you log off. That suits a laptop that is rarely on at the same hour.

The trade-off is that the backup destination has to be reachable at that moment, or the run is skipped.

Recovery Media: restoring onto a blank or replacement disk

The program can build bootable recovery media on a USB stick or an ISO. You start the PC from it when Windows will not load.

From there you restore a full image, and you can load drivers if the new hardware needs them. Create the media before you need it, because a dead PC cannot make it for you.

Getting back a single file from a full-disk image

You do not need to restore a whole disk to recover one document. You can open a restore point from the control panel and pick the files you want.

This makes image backups practical for everyday mistakes as well as for disasters.

Backup encryption and the password you must keep

A backup job can encrypt its data with AES-256. That protects the files if the external drive is lost or stolen.

The catch is simple: without the password, an encrypted backup cannot be restored. Store it in a password manager.

Where backups can go: USB drives, NAS shares and Veeam repositories

Local and external disks and network shares work for home use. Veeam repositories are meant for people who already run Veeam on a server.

Backups to a local disk or a share do not need an internet connection. Keep a second copy on another device, since a backup on the same drive as your data is no real protection.

Veeam Agent safety check: what the scan showed

The installer on this page was checked with VirusTotal and came back clean. It also comes from the official developer, Veeam.

As with any backup tool, it installs a driver and runs with high privileges, so only install it from a source you trust.

What the free edition is meant for

The free edition covers one machine at a time, with its own control panel on that PC. Veeam sells paid products for managing many computers from one place.

If you run a handful of home or office PCs, you will manage each one separately.

Skip it if you want one-click cloud sync

This is a disk-imaging tool, not a Dropbox-style sync service. It will not mirror a folder to the cloud in real time.

If you only need photos and documents on a phone and a laptop, a sync service is simpler. It also covers Windows only, so Mac and Linux machines need another tool.

How to Download & Install

Tap the download button at the top of this page and you receive a standard EXE file that sets up the backup agent.

Here is the setup in the same order as the screenshots below.

Step 1: Hit the green button at the top of the page, then wait until the browser reports that the free backup tool has been saved.

Step 2: Double-click the saved file to launch it, then press Next on the first setup window.

Step 3: Read the license agreement and click I Accept to continue.

Step 4: When the setup ends, click Finish and Run so the program opens right away.

Step 5: In the control panel, set up your first backup job by choosing the backup type (entire computer, volume or file level) and a destination (local drive, network share or cloud).

Installer type for Veeam Agent

Only one installer is listed here, usually 64-bit, and it carries everything the setup needs.

There is no separate portable version, so you install it like any other Windows program.

System requirements

• Windows 11 or Windows 10
• A 64-bit system for the main installer
• A destination with enough free space, such as an external drive or a network share

How to update

When a newer release is out, get the installer again from this page and start it on the PC where the backup agent already runs.

Your backup jobs and settings stay in place, and the existing restore points remain usable.

If the installer or first backup job fails

• Setup window never appears: right-click the installer and choose Run as administrator, because the backup driver cannot be added without admin rights.
• Windows SmartScreen warning: the file is checked with VirusTotal and came back clean, so click More info, then Run anyway if you got it from this page.
• Backup destination not found: reconnect the external drive or network share, then run the job again.

Conclusion

4.5★★★★★out of 5 · 46 user ratings

Veeam Agent is a dependable free way to image a Windows PC and restore it after a failure. It rewards a bit of setup time with backups you can actually boot from.

Look elsewhere if you want a simple sync tool or a backup for Mac and Linux machines. These alternatives fit other situations:

• AOMEI Backupper: freemium Windows backup with a friendlier wizard, a good pick if you prefer guided setup.
• Macrium Reflect: paid disk imaging that suits users who want a dedicated imaging product with commercial support.
• Clonezilla: free, open-source cloning that runs from bootable media, better for one-off disk copies than scheduled backups.
