Veeam Agent - Create recovery media

  1. Create recovery media if you may need to perform a full bare-metal restore. Recovery media is not required for file-level restores.
  2. Sign in to the computer protected by the Veeam Agent.
  3. From the Start menu, search for Create Recovery Media, or find it under the Veeam folder.
  4. Choose ISO image. For a physical server, you can instead connect a USB drive and create bootable media directly.
  5. If you are creating an ISO, save it in a protected location where it will not be deleted, for example: C:\VeeamRecoveryMedia-DO-NOT-DELETE\VeeamRecoveryMedia.iso.
  6. Create the destination folder in File Explorer first, if required.
  7. Wait for the process to finish. It normally takes a few minutes and uses approximately 700 MB.
  8. If you created a bootable USB drive, store it securely so it is available for a bare-metal restore.
  9. If you create an ISO, copy it to another computer or an external drive, or use it later to create a bootable USB drive.
  10. Alternatively, leave the ISO on the protected computer so Veeam Agent backs it up. Do not delete it. If required, recover the ISO from another computer by using a file-level restore, then use it to create bootable media.
