File-Level Backup

Veeam Agent for Mac copies backed-up data at the file level. The file-level backup captures data of individual folders and files on the machine. You can use the file-level backup to restore files and folders that you have added to the backup scope.

With Veeam Agent for Mac, you can specify which files and folders to back up:

  • When you back up user profiles data, Veeam Agent captures the content of the home folders of all users on your computer. When you recover from such backup, you will be able to restore all user profiles data or restore individual subfolders of home folders and files in these folders.

File-Level Backup NOTE

When you back up user profiles data, Veeam Agent does not include data from guest user account into the backup scope.
