        Thank you for mentioning my article. Unfortunately, I was unable to find out what caused the certificate to disappear. Hopefully, not many people will encounter a similar problem.

            Nice to see you both back to “normal” this week Rick & Madi 😊

            All really good posts again this week. Good to see Nico getting back on here as well.

            ​@Rick Vanover  ...you touched on the VeeamONs a bit, but the main question I have is...why the change away from the “one big VeeamON”?...if you can share? Curious why this new format. Seems to be much more work? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Personally, I’m going to miss the old format.

            Welcome to all the new Community members. I hope everyone has a great weekend?

              Thanks for mentioning my article…. I had some costumers which failed in that trap, because sometimes you just don’t see it or remember it when you activate the alert. 

              Thanks ​@Rick Vanover and ​@Madi.Cristil

                      I have PSD from working on Tape libraries at IBM and seeing an entire tape jammed up in a drive, but it’s pretty amazing that fixing the leader pin and rewinding it often does allow you to get the data back. 

                      3-2-1-1-0.  Tapes do fail :)
