Solved Question About Veeam Endpoint Protection Recovery Media

i see it now, but do you think it is safe to boot all of your machines from one image that has multiple drivers, is that the best practice
i think if you have an image for each machine is safe and smooth, what do you think ??
Why do you feel that it would not be a best practice to have a single image with all of the necessary drivers? What downside are you proposing this has?
i don't know, the idea of having multiple drivers in one image make me thinking that this may cause driver issues or incompatibility (by mistake pulling driver x instead of driver y) i'm just talking

But that is how every OS works. Thousands and thousands of drivers in the base install image. You don't worry about Windows, Linux or Mac when you install them, right?

yeah it is true, it was just a wrong thought

Hi folks,
Its recommended to keep the recovery media per OS (32-bit and 64-bit) just because of the drivers, but:
- You can include additional drivers to recovery media during creation
- You can disable drivers collection from the OS during creation
- You can load the drivers while performing the Bare Metal Recovery
- You can disable the collected drivers being injected from Recovery Media during recovery

it looks like my idea was correct

Which idea is that?

I have a suspicion that you are completely misreading what that quote says. It very clearly says that you should NOT have lots of images, only one (because it is not recommended to have multiple OSes or architectures.) It shows that you were mistaken and should have just one 64bit image and put all of the drivers on it.

@IT-ADMIN I’d say two images x32 and x64 without any drivers included - minimum. You have to manually upload the drivers (and install them) during bare metal recovery then. However, thats not a big issue if you are using the USB stick - you can just drag and drop the storage and network drivers to any folder inside the recovery media.
BTW we had some discussions on the forums check for creative workarounds: http://forums.veeam.com/veeam-endpoint-backup-f33/multiple-computer-recovery-media-on-single-usb-t29636.html?hilit=unified

Is 32-bit Windows still be deployed? It seems like that would have gone away when Windows XP did.

@coliver valid point but I've seen it preinstalled on a small transformer laptops like Asus T100

Folks,
I am from the Veeam side, so just wanted to chime in and share the possibilities you got with Veeam Endpoint Backup installed (since you have a spinning discussion here).
I am eager to hear the real use cases from you actually

@Dashrender Good community by the way – I wonder why I missed it before…
