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.

Greetings from the Czech Republic

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 :)

The shift from traditional tape recovery to these modern authentication-heavy backup strategies is a massive step forward for ransomware protection. It's fascinating to see how the 'Air Gap' concept has evolved into more sophisticated immutable storage solutions.

I’ve been exploring similar data integrity workflows while managing the technical backend of my portal at https://mytelnoranswertoday.pk/, and the 'Deep Dive' on authentication mentioned here is particularly useful for anyone dealing with sensitive user data and automated scripts. Thanks for sharing this detailed overview!
