Veeam offers a great backup solution for end devices by using the Veeam technology. This allows you to backup any Windows Hardware device and send the volume backup or file backup to a Veeam Repository. To recover this, you create the Recovery Media and this boots up as a windows image, loads the drivers for the hardware and runs the Veeam software from within the image.
This is a good piece of software, however I have had issues creating recovery media on Dell servers. This is mainly due to the functionality of the iDrac media store. The iDrac card allows you to mount media directly through the iDrac interface and present this to the operating system. When this is enabled and you try to use the Veeam software and scan for volumes on the initial configuration, this eventually times out and crashes the Veeam application because the iDrac software conflicts with the Veeam services trying to access the virtual disk service. Simply disable the media within the iDrac software sorts this out.
Recovery of the machine to different hardware and loading the correct drivers works a treat.
