Playing with the new WebUI in the #Veeam #VBR v13 Preview 😮 Feeling like when VMware started their transition away from the thick client....Definitely a step in the right direction though!

Thrilled to have my Homelab piece featured in this week's Veeam Recap Spotlight! Alongside fantastic articles on Backup Security and Encryption, it was a delightful surprise 😀 Maybe it's time to start a GoFundMe 😂 Check it out: https://buff.ly/41fcyJI #VeeamCommunity #Veeam100 #VeeamVanguard

How freaking cool is the new #Veeam100 trophy? It's got a few gaps that need to be filled...Let's see what we can do about that in the coming years!
Thanks to #VeeamCommunity and #VeeamVanguard for this!

Veeam Data Cloud finally has dark mode. My eyes can finally stop burning during late-night config sessions. It is tucked under the appearance menu in the top right. 🌙

Great post from @koolaid.info on setting up PostgreSQL for #Veeam Backup for M365! A great follow up to his previous article on deploying NATS for it. A recommended read if you're designing or deploying #VB365 v8

Just knocked out a full #VBR appliance patch before my coffee even got cold. ☕️

Under 10 minutes to hit v13.0.1.1071. No RDP, no mounting ISOs, and zero Windows Update drama. It’s hard to justify sticking with the Windows install for the lab after seeing this.

To avoid this, make sure you configure the jobs to use existing Azure resources (storage accounts, NSGs) instead of creating new ones for every VM. Veeam's new KB 4764 shows you how. Definitely a best practice to set up from the start. buff.ly/1wymu6l

Microsoft Defender scanning a 4TB .vbk file is a great way to kill your backup performance.
I got tired of manually adding the 50+ exclusions from KB1999 every time I built a server. So I scripted it. Smartly.

My internet felt slow tonight. Turns out I was just maxing it out pushing backups to Veeam Data Cloud Vault! 😂 Always fun when you're the bottleneck. Anyone else ever do this?

Awesome to catch up with some of the ANZ Veeam Community today! Had fun discussing things like homelabs, hypervisors, YouTube subscribers and cyber resiliency! OK. Maybe a like BBQ chat as well🍖

#Veeam support for #Proxmox is solid, but we still need a way to automate recovery testing without native SureBackup. My mate Andre built a workaround using the REST APIs to spin up isolated test VMs. It verifies they actually boot. Part 1 is up.
