            If you have paid Veeam, their EndPoint backup will communicate through the Veeam controller. You cannot fully manage it all centrally, but you get reporting out of the console.

                It's a tradeoff that that manager should be tied to. How much cost and effort are they willing to put into speeding up a one time restore? Let's chronicle things here for perspective...

                • Manager probably does something careless and gets infected (how did this happen, was he running as the administrator?)
                • Manager needs his machine rebuilt and it takes two hours, cost consulting time and wasting management time.
                • Manager triggers a project to mitigate the cost of repairing his own mistakes that is likely going to cost far more than the existing time needed to fix his mistakes turning his initial infection into a larger and larger financial hit to the company.

                I see a trend.

                This is the true cause here. it is a complete waste of time. Yes, you could update your golden image to mitigate Windows updates, but honestly, that should have been transparent to the user. It should have done that overnight if you had not forced it.

                Everything else here is exactly as @scottalanmiller is saying. The manager screwed up and wants to cover it up by deflecting with the noise of desktop level backups.

                      If that it is your mug shot then it is in the public space. Therfore he is free to use it as long as he doesn't use it to cause you harm since it is publicly available.

                        I use Crashplan at home. Have used Mozy and Carbonite over the years also.
