The grass is always greener on you neigor grade, I’m here in Brazil, it’s about +23 celsius now.
But I really wish I were in your place; I've never seen snow in my life. I hope to see it sometime this year.

Really nice tape content, I love tape solutions, they are Imutable, air gapped and cheaper 

Good to see Serrano back, contributing with many good articles!!! 

That's another good reason to use Veeam ONE managing VSA HA failover using it. 

Notifications, they are very important and simple configuration, unfortunately many customers don't configure it, thank you for the step by step guide.  

Deprecated features, sometimes  are more important than new featatures, thank you for bring this up.

Regarding the need to use DNS for SMB shares, I wanderig if thers is a Veeam tool to test DNS, we do know that DNS Or any other name server can lead to a several issues if they are not consistent , does anyone know if there is a Veeam DNS test/ check tools?

Great to see a whole day dedciated to a VUG Denmark

Hope yo be able to participate in the VUG USA with Nico, Shane and Scott, listening for new Certification changes, Storage Integration, universal CDP and end user case, Just registered myself . 

Great bait (special guest) to further pique people's interest, very cool VUG Italy!!! :-) 

Good to see a 4 hours VUG in person meeting, as far as I remember, last VUG Romania was very crowed, hope to see a pricture again with many participants. congrats to the organizers .

Thank you Madi and Rick for you 30 weekly minutes dedicated to us. 

Wish you all Success in Paris!!!
