Used all of these.  Keep in mind the one is only for ProPartners so you need an account to login.

Thanks for this reminder :)

I add this one: https://excalidraw.com/ if you need to create a quick schema. You can find a Veeam library unofficial.

Yeah this one is good too for quick drawings as I sometimes use it over Visio. 😂

I’ve been using LucidChart mostly lately, and I can import the Visio stencils.  It’s a relatively inexpensive subscription.  That said, my employer suggested going back to Visio so I’ll try that again next round I need to chart some things out.

Okay...hold up.  I kinda love this app...first time I’ve seen it but the sketching style is great, and the unofficial library is super cool.  Thanks for pointing this out!

It’s all online, just start your project. Add the Veeam library, click on the book on the right
 


Navigate in the library

Search : Veeam, you should find the “Veeam Unoffical” and Add it to Excalidraw
 

Now you just have to drag and drop your items and create your schema.
 

You can save it on your computer or make an export in PNG or SVG.

Really easy to use, perfect in meeting if you have to draw quickly or during a presale presentation etc.

ExcaliDraw is a really nice tool.

The diagrams look like handwritten… I am using it very much when I don’t have Visio at hand in some customer environments.

 

Another nice diagram tool is Draw.io - https://draw.io
It seems there is a new domain - https://app.diagrams.net/

You can even download a desktop version, very handy in environments without internet connection… And there is a Veeam library available, too.
