Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE provides a simple solution for backing up Windows-based servers, desktops and laptops. Back up your computer to an external hard drive, QuantaStor NAS (network-attached storage) share or a Veeam Backup & Replication repository.
