Hi, can someone tell me how to troubleshoot this? I installed Veeam on Windows 11 Home and defined its configuration, then resolved issues it reported. When I ran the backup job it reported success but no backups were created. I followed the quick start guide for a simple setup using my Dell for all components and tried backing up my C:\ drive to another drive where I would copy backup files to an ssd to keep offline.

Where is your repository pointed to in Veeam?  It is impossible for a backup to run successfully, and no files be in the repo.  Also what version of Veeam are you using?

Hello ​@ArtInt Andy !

Welcome to Community !
Do you have installed Veeam Agent on your PC ?

Hi ​@ArtInt Andy ...as others have shared, can you provide more info on what you installed exactly? Veeam Backup Community Edition (free) or Veeam Agent for Windows (Free)? Can you also share your Job configs? Hopefully we can help you when you share the more needed info.

Best.
