      Some remarkable content this week.  The Home Assistant stuff is great: running that now.  Also enjoyed Ben’s article on VSA migration.

        Glad to see you all back! Missed you guys last wk. I didn’t see Jonah’s post, so glad it was shared here. Will check it out.

        And what a great photo of you guys in Paris. Very nice! 😎 

        Hmm...curious to hear what ​@Rick Vanover has to share about VeeamON. So much lack of info around that this yr. Kinda took me by surprise tbh 🤔

        I hope everyone has a great weekend!

                Hi Madi and Rick, thank you for taking the time to prepare the weekly recap. Very useful as always.

                 

                The Home Assistant sounds great. Thank you, Jonah, for the project.

                I truly appreciate that Veeam consistently invests time and effort to ensure the calculator is accurate and user-friendly. Thank you , Esteban.

                It’s great to see the security improvements and the easier maintenance. Thank you, Marcel.

                Nice walkthrough of the migration process, thank you, Ben

                Hi Madi, I’d love to see you in our meetup too, but I completely understand — you are five hours ahead.

                Happy to see all of you in at the Brazil’s Meetup. 

                Welcome, VUG Panama, to the wonderful VUG community!

                Congrats Jean!!! well done!

                Really nice picture Madi, as a professional photografer!
