Tell Veeam not to do Application Aware Processing and it'll stop doing anything more than VSS pauses.

Without Application Aware Processing, Veeam will take crash-consistent image backups of the machine using VSS, which seems to be all you want.

I have many times brought up Veeam image-based backups of MSSQL, Oracle, and other databases lacking application aware processing into prod or validation environments without a hitch. Worst I've had to do is rerun an archive redo log after restoration when an oracle DB lost power in unfavorable conditions.

Frankly, for $99/year, look at getting Office 365 Family. Five people, many many devices, 1TB cloud space per person in OneDrive.

It sounds like you care more about the photos/small files than the OS itself, so Acronis works but it's possibly focused on the wrong thing.
