Performing Backup with Command Line Interface

Creating Backups

To perform backup, use a command with the following syntax:

• If one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /backup

• If more than one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /backup “<ID>”

where <ID> — unique job ID generated by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

Creating Active Full Backups

To create an active full backup, use a command with the following syntax:

• If one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /activefull

• If more than one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /activefull “<ID>”

where <ID> — unique job ID generated by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

Creating Standalone Full Backups

To create a standalone full backup, use a command with the following syntax:

• If one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /standalone

• If more than one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /standalone “<ID>”

where <ID> — unique job ID generated by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

Performing Backup to Another Location

To create a standalone full backup to a different location than a location that is specified in the backup job settings, use a command with the following syntax:

• If one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /standalone <location>

• If more than one backup job is configured:

“C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe” /standalone <location> “<ID>”

where:

• <location> — path to a folder in which the backup should be created.
• <ID> — unique job ID generated by Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.
