As the Veeam Legend 2022 intake is only a couple of months away, I wanted to share my experience and views on the Veeam Legend program, and help those considering it, whether it’s right for them.Today I’ll give a brief overview of the Veeam Legend program in case you’re not familiar and then I’ll tell you how my first year in the program has been. What is the Veeam Legend program?If you don’t know what the Veeam Legend program is, that’s fine, it has only been going for a year now and has had two intakes of Legends.

Hi everyone, ACG (A Cloud Guru) are providing a free training course this month on securing AWS S3 storage. Anton Gostev provided insights recently into public cloud utilisation and with AWS being used by such a big portion of the Veeam customer base, it makes sense to share information on how to secure the S3 storage. Link to course:https://acloudguru.com/course/how-to-properly-secure-an-s3-bucket Hope this helps someone!

Hey Veeam Community,I am having a problem backing up my personal workstation to an external hard drive.I am using the free version of Veeam Agent for Windows.When I backup, my main (C:) Internal SSD shows:Local SSD (C:) (476.1 GB) 262.5 GB read at 142 MB/sHowever, my other Internal SSD ‘terabyte’ (X:)Terabyte (X:) (953.9 GB) 3.8 GB read at 4 MB/s.I benchmarked both of my drives with CrystalDiskMark and they both got good similar results being Sata SSD’s, so the X: drive should not be this slow.I’ve tried swapping sata ports, changing cables, disable throttling when system is in use, etc. Nothing seems to help.Can anyone help me diagnose what is causing one drive to backup so much faster? Thanks, Mike 

Let’s face it, we live in a world where security vulnerabilities and threats are top of mind.  There’s some new exploits in the news daily...and often software patches are required to protect our assets.I’ve talked to many out there and the consensus is similar: patches are a must but, the need to be tested first, and testing is terrible.So I ask you all - what makes patch testing so terrible?
