At incremental backup only blocks which changed after creation of the previous backup copy are copied. Thus, copying at the level of volumes becomes very effective when processing changes in big files. Backup program capabilities:
• Complete backup copy. Make the complete copy of your computer at the level of an image. The program automatically excludes unnecessary files from the backup copy: Basket contents, temporary files and swap files.
• Copying of volumes. Use copying at the level of blocks for separate disks or volumes of your computer (e.g., a system volume, volume with data, etc.).
• Copying at the level of files. You can set masks of names to select separate files and folders which need to be copied. Using the master who is built in the program you can quickly select standard system folders and personal files.

Following features of the Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE program allow to optimize the speed of backup of your PC or notebook running Windows:

• Flexible configuration. Using masks of names of files you can turn on in the backup copy or exclude from it separate types of files. Besides, it is possible to define storage life of the copy, to set the backup schedule and to calculate the file size of the backup copy.
• Planning. Problems of backup can be tied to certain events: to connection of storage of backup copies, blocking of the computer or leaving the system. At the same time you can limit backup frequency.
• Restriction on writing rate and data reading. Reduces a priority of problems of backup if resources of the computer are busy with other tasks
