If standalone full backup fails for some reason, you will have to start the standalone full backup task manually again. Unlike the backup job started upon schedule, the standalone full backup task is not retried automatically. For example, if you have configured the backup job to perform backup of a specific volume, the standalone full backup will create a full backup of this volume in a separate folder in the target location. To create a standalone full backup, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses settings specified for the backup job. You can use it as an independent restore point for data recovery. The standalone full backup is not associated with subsequent incremental backups. When Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows performs standalone full backup, it produces a full backup of your data in a separate folder in the target location.

In these situations, you can perform standalone full backup. For example, you may want to save a copy of your data on a CD or DVD or create a full backup of all data on your computer at some point in time. Sometimes you need to create a full backup of your data.
