Happy Monday, Veeam community!
I am here again with fresh April Vanguard Newsletter packed with tons of veeamazing content from our community heroes! This month’s set clusters around Veeam v13 adoption, cyber‑resilience controls, recoverability/DR orchestration, and practical operational learnings (what breaks, how to fix it, and how to design for it). A smaller thread covers community/career wellbeing and monitoring/observability integrations.

In short, April's Vanguard content evolves from 'having backups' to 'proving recoverability', incorporating v13-driven security and operations changes, stronger governance (immutability and the four-eyes authentification), orchestration and testing, and practical integration and troubleshooting. Enjoy the reading and stay tuned for the next May newsletter!
