May Vanguard Newsletter

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.

It also covers security and identity best practices, including the Security Officer role and gMSA for guest processing. Complementing this are technical use cases concerning file share protection and recovery, platform/workload migration scenarios, and forward-looking perspectives on cyber recovery strategy and agentic AI risk, alongside a community segment on managing IT stress and continued coverage of Microsoft 365 protection with Veeam Data Cloud.

Enjoy reading! 😎
