September Vanguard Newsletter

Happy Friday, Veeam Community! 

I am very late with this newsletter and I apologise for that. However, I have a good reason: we have been so busy recently organising our biggest community event of the year, the Veeam100 Summit, that publishing this newsletter had to wait until other things were taken care of. 

What can you find inside this Newsletter version?

This edition is packed with practical tips, technical deep dives, and community insights from across the data protection world. You’ll find articles on backup best practices, disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 protection, and the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, along with plenty of Veeam Data Platform 13.1 content. Veeam Vanguards covered also workload mobility, cloud storage, upgrades, and protecting platforms such as Proxmox, Nutanix, OpenShift, XenServer, and XCP-ng.

Plus, there are useful tools, troubleshooting tips, licensing guidance, community projects, certifications, events, and learning resources. Whether you’re just getting started or already a seasoned expert, there’s something here for you! 🤓

So, enjoy the reading and the topics Veeam Vanguards put together for you lately. You can already look forward to the October edition that will follow soon!
