Hi, is it possible to backup an entire disk or clone a disk?  I would like to make a duplicate copy of my boot drive.  Thank you.

Yes & no. VBR backs up entire VMs. You can restore just the disks, the whole VM, or individual files though. If you're talking about using Veeam Agent with VBR... yes, you can choose entire computer, Volume, or Files.
