Hi Community,

 

During the projects I have been working on, or in the VMCA classes I teach, I use drawio.com to make diagrams. It is a simple and free tool to use. However, the Veeam icons are not always up to date on it. So, to improve the quality, quantity and standard of the Veeam icons, I share many other formats with you.
So, you can use drawio as a diagram tool and the Veeam icons in SVG format. Once drawio is open, you just need to copy and paste the desired icons into the drawio window.
For those who use Visio, I’ll attach the visio stencils as well.

Hi ​@Chris.Childerhose , for sure visio is a much better than drawio, but, in terms of save money, drawio will win :-), to be honest, using any kind of tool will be fine, if you use the correct icons and standards.
thx Chris.

that’s very great and useful for trainings, HLD, LLD documents

thanks AndrePulia


thanks for the files, but it is possible to have the drawio or svg version?

i’m dabbling with a FREE tool to generate drawio files from a file listing all involved systems (esxi, vcenter, veeam b&r and many components) VeeamDesigner: Create Veeam Design Diagram & Firewall configurations (POC). | Veeam Community Resource Hub and i have not found if i can redestribute the shades included in drawio. (and your are also better 8-))) but to include in my tool i have to take the style in a an external file, and the way the visio are converted make it difficult).

@strangenewcoder 

Hi, how are you?

If you open the draw.io, you copy the shapes contained in the PowerPoint directly into draw.io


It work perfectly… and only now i understand why you attached the powerpoint… after trying to mess with the visio vssx (and came out with a procedure so cumbersome) it was extremely easy (and admittely it took me a while to realize how easy it was… ) shame on me..

Just for precision… i can redistribute these shapes in my app? obviously with a well deserved acknowledgement and if, i can leverage my part of family in Brazil, some beers?
