      Many look into Dell Appassure for backups. I don't think you pay for windows though so not sure you would for this.

      That's going to be an issue. Everything that does decoupled backups is going to be non-free or require virtualization at least.

      What about Veeam End Point Protection?

      Not decoupled AFAIK, in any way.

      The risk though can be reduced by using a different user account and only using it for this one application.

      Yes, but that is the only gap that there is. It is fully coupled to the network.

        Yes, that adds a huge amount of risk.

            If you are using the Veeam Endpoint Recovery Free, it looks like only a single schedule.

                    Yup, it's right in the description on the screenshot posted above. Entire computer is the only one that gets.... the entire computer.

                        As big as all the files on your computer with overhead.

                          If you want a full backup, of course.

                            but i think it is not optimal, because if i want to restore a 10 MB excel sheet then i have to restore the whole system ??? it make no sense for me
                            it should be the possibility to have 2 schedule : one for system image and one for data, this is the best way to have a good backup plan, am i right ??

                              Yepp. You can expect the first full backup to be about the same size as all of the data on your computer now. So if you have 2TB worth of data on your whole computer, then the backup size will be about that.

                                  i think that backing up the C drive is sufficient to backup the system image without backing up every thing

                                    you mean that during the restore process (in the mode entire computer), i will have the possibility to select which item to restore ??

                                        No one said it was optimal, you are the one that asked how to restore the entire system 🙂

                                          Or better question.... why are you storing data you don't want backed up?

                                            Given that they do a file level backup, must this not be true?
