          because before i setup a schedule backup only for the C volume, i thought it was enough to backup only C volume to get system image

              Yes, Veeam does compression.

                  ~50% compression? That's pretty good. At one of my last positions we had 66% compression and deduplication. I don't think %50 is out of the ordinary.

                    great then, it will save half of our storage, i think it will do the same in the entire computer mode ?

                      It could. I'm getting ~ 40% compression on my backups at home.

                        Dear @dafyre, i have a technical question, if we boot from the bootable USB and restore the server using a previous system image, does this image format completely all server hard drives ???

                          because it must be, because sometime we want to restore due to a virus took over the whole system and we want the system image to format everything so that we can put the restore point in a clean server

                            I haven't had to do a full system-restore yet, but I would assume you would be able to pick and choose what to restore. If you are restoring because you got hit by a virus, I would assume you want to restore everything anyway.

                                i see, i was unaware of how restore is made, so the restoring will format all hard drives, that is great

                                  what about the built in restore points in windows 7 for example, you mean that if i select a x restore point it will format the computer ???

                                    Neither case formats, both cases basically format. Format doesn't mean what you think that it means. Both cases apply a new image to the machine in roughly an identical way.

                                      Just the words.... if you restore the system, you are restoring all of it. It doesn't do a format and put files back one by one, it literally restores the entire system as it was with the original formatting in the image.

                                        From the way that you are using the word format, I can't tell if you are aware of what a format operation is so I can't tell how to respond. The entire drive is imaged, no format operation is run, the disk will be completely replaced as if it was formatted.

                                          i can understand that the new system image overwrite the old damaged one without deleting the damaged system image, it is like bringing the time back to the time that the new system image was taken

                                            Um, no. Overwriting and deleting are the same thing here. It IS deleting. How could it not be? Wouldn't going "back in time" delete anything done since that time?
