Hello community,

Happy to share that, in record time after the v13 launch, the Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course is now available. 🔥🔥🔥🎉

This version brings key elements compared to v12, including malware detection, enterprise plug-ins, monitoring and reporting, and guidance on basic troubleshooting with Veeam Support. It also expands into enterprise-level capabilities and advanced security, going beyond backup basics with integrations and operational monitoring to help address modern data protection challenges.

What’s new in the Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course:

  • Veeam Software Appliance configuration and management
  • Protection for physical servers and unstructured data
  • SureBackup and immutable repositories for recoverability
  • Malware detection and remediation
  • Enterprise plug-ins and integrations
  • Monitoring, alerting, and reporting
  • Basic troubleshooting and support workflows

What stays:

  • Backup and copy job configuration
  • NAS backup
  • Replication and CDP
  • Immutability and hardened repositories
  • Recovery from backups

As you know, the VMCE exam will be retired at the end of this year, with the last day to take it being December 31 (subject to seat availability). Veeam Backup & Replication remains the core training for Veeam Data Platform fundamentals and will be part of the new expanded certification exam planned for 2026.

While the new certification is still in development, for now the key point is that the Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course will be one of the required courses for the new certification.

The Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course is available through the eLearning subscription via the your channel network (a post on this topic is on the way), as well as instructor led through our traditional local training centers.

Veeam ONE course done.   Now VRO then last security one.

@Federica  do we need to do the VBR course if we have the VMCE already to get the new VMCSE?  Based on the University Pro link we do not but just wanted to clarify for others.

@Chris.Childerhose  The new certification paths are yet to be finalized. Currently, two new certifications are planned for launch: VMCE-E and VMCSE. To progress to VMCE-E, candidates must complete the designated courses in Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Data Platform: Monitor, Manage, Analyze (Veeam ONE), and Veeam Data Platform: Scale, Automate, Secure (Veeam Recovery Orchestrator). Advancement to the next-level Veeam certification, VMCSE, requires holding the VMCE-E certification and completing the Enterprise Data Security course. But again, since the program is not yet finalized, further tweaks may be made before it goes live.

Ok thanks.  So having the current VMCE will not suffice to get VMCSE you need the new VMCE-E one.  Got it.  Will continue my learning journey and wait for things to go final.  😁
