Communities aren't built overnight. They're built by people who keep showing up—sharing their knowledge, helping others solve problems, and making time to give back.Every day, our Veeam Legends contribute in meaningful ways across the Veeam Community. Whether it's answering questions in the Community Hub, participating in the R&D Forums, leading Veeam User Groups, writing technical blogs, or sharing real-world experiences, their contributions help thousands of IT professionals learn, connect, and succeed.Today, we're proud to recognize the Veeam Legends – Second Class of 2026.Recognizing Continued CommitmentThe Veeam Legend Program is reviewed every six months to recognize community members who continue to make a meaningful impact across the Veeam ecosystem.This class celebrates Legends who have continued to earn their place through consistent contributions, while also welcoming back valued members returning to the program after a break. Every journey is unique, but they all share
This is a new Veeam Community initiative built for a small group of technically driven members who are already hands-on with Veeam and consistently showing up to help others.The idea is simple: create a clear, intentional path for those with the potential to grow into future Veeam 100 contributors — not just by being present, but by building real traction through meaningful, consistent contributions over time.Rising Star is about learning, collaborating, and gradually stepping into a more active role in the ecosystem — whether that’s sharing knowledge, creating content, supporting peers, or getting involved in VUGs and community initiatives.Huge congratulations to everyone selected — I’m really looking forward to seeing how this group grows and the impact you’ll have across the community in the months ahead. This is just the beginning.Let’s give our Rising Stars a warm welcome and support them on their journey. @eblack @kciolek @Jason Orchard-ingram micro @EdwinMoraal @TidusandYun

Hello community, I have a new Vanguard Newsletter full of veeamazing content created by Veeam Vanguards last month to share with you! 🤓 The May edition focuses on hands-on Veeam operations and platform maintenance, including troubleshooting and hardening core backup components (such as tape/LTO diagnostics, repository/SOBR administration and infra naming changes from IP to DNS), as well as a strong emphasis on version management and security patching across Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE, in order to address vulnerabilities and implement updates. The newsletter also highlights topics related to cloud/object storage and repository architecture (notably Azure Blob integration, S3 repository abstraction and repository decision frameworks), as well as v13-era capabilities such as Veeam High Availability Cluster and environment visualisation via Interactive Maps.

To help our community members keep their knowledge of the current Veeam product portfolio up to date, we announced the Veeam100 Certification Challenge at the beginning of 2026. Participants were required to have hands-on experience with Veeam ONE and Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, and those selected had the opportunity to access training modules and complete one of the following: Veeam Data Platform: Monitor, Manage, Analyze (Veeam ONE)orVeeam Data Platform: Scale, Automate, Secure (Veeam Recovery Orchestrator). As part of the tasks set for participants, next to completing their assigned training modules, they had to publish content about their experience of the training they were undergoing. We could read many posts from participants sharing their perspective on their ongoing experience, and see in which areas the Veeam training develops its graduates' ability to use Veeam products, unlocking their full potential. As organizers, it has been great for us to see so much buzz on social me
