Manual #Veeam audits for VDC Vault migrations are a total slog. I got tired of clicking through 100s of jobs to check encryption and retention, so I built a local analyzer tool to do it for me. Drop in a HealthCheck JSON and see your blockers.

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.

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. 🌙

It’s the little things that win me over. In #Veeam v13, the #VBR console finally handles its own updates.
No more digging for ISOs or manual installs after patching the server. Just connect, click update, and you're back in. Huge time saver for the lab.

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.

Love the VDC Vault UI, but sometimes you just need raw data for Excel?
I built a Chrome Extension to export tenant stats & storage usage directly to CSV. Handy for billing/chargeback workflows.

My mate Andre is attempting the impossible: a Veeam blog Advent Calendar. 🎄
He's publishing a new technical post every day until Christmas, covering automation, security and hidden features.

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

A close-up of several printed VeeamOn Tour agendas fanned out on a glossy black table. The agenda lists session times and topics for the event, with a white vase in the background.
A tall, black VeeamOn Tour 2025 pull-up banner standing in a modern building lobby. The banner reads "Unwavering protection. Unparalleled recovery. Unlimited potential." and shows a map of Australia and New Zealand.
An event attendee stands at the VeeamOn Tour "Swag" station, which is decorated with colorful geometric patterns. Veeam-branded tote bags and beanies are visible on the counter.
Kicking things off at the #VeeamOn Tour in Perth! The agenda looks solid, and honestly, I'm also here for the swag.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Say hi if you're around!

Made a classic mistake, deleted a LHR VM before I removed it from Veeam. Left me with an entry that wouldn't clean up from VBR.
The fix from Rhys Hammond was brilliant in its simplicity: just deploy a temp Linux VM with the same IP address.

Finally! The @veeam.bsky.social User Group is back in Christchurch, NZ! First meetup in a while. Jason and I are kicking things off with "Beer for Engineer". Come hang out, talk tech, and grab a cold one.

Three graphs show real-time internet usage. Top left: Inbound bandwidth peaking at 300 Mbps, currently 13.67 Mbps. Top right: Outbound bandwidth frequently over 400 Mbps, currently 482.30 Mbps. Bottom: Session rate showing fluctuations, currently 33/s. Displays high network traffic.
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?

Quick reminder for Christchurch! This Thursday, June 26th, is our "Beers with Engineers" event. I'll be there talking Veeam, and yes, we'll have some cool Veeam NZ User Group stickers for attendees! Don't miss out.
