We usually explain backup with dry slides β€” so I wanted to try something different.

I built an interactive web experience that follows a single file: invoice_2026.pdf, living on an accounting server. We pull it out of production, carry it through 7 dimensions of the Veeam universe, and bring it back alive from a ransomware disaster.

Every dimension is clickable and live:

  • πŸ–ΌοΈ Dimension 1 β€” Snapshot: watch Application-Aware Processing + the VSS steps play out in front of you
  • πŸ›£οΈ Dimension 2 β€” Proxy & Transport: pick between Direct SAN / Hot-Add / NBD, and see block-by-block why CBT reads 1 TB in minutes
  • ⛓️ Dimension 3 β€” Chain: build the VBK / VIB / VBM chain yourself and run a live forever-forward merge
  • πŸ“¦ Dimension 4 β€” SOBR: drag the slider and watch a backup filter down from Performance β†’ Capacity β†’ Archive
  • ☠️ Dimension 5 β€” Black Hole: launch a ransomware attack and see Hardened Repository immutability make the difference, live
  • πŸ”„ Dimension 6 β€” Restore: try Instant / File-Level / Full VM Restore scenarios
  • πŸ›°οΈ Dimension 7 β€” Command Center: the full architecture + a service/port table on one screen

It's a single self-contained HTML file β€” no setup, just open and explore. I threw in a starfield + "warp" transitions for a bit of fun 🌠

Open to feedback, scenarios you'd like added, and any corrections. Hope it helps someone out there!
