The Community Trilogy is complete: Veeam Vanguards of 2025 have been welcomed on board!

At the beginning of March, we completed a cycle of 2025 intakes in the Veeam Community when members of this year's Veeam Vanguard class were notified of obtaining their Veeam Vanguard status. It's always difficult to select the limited number of individuals who can join each year's class of this longest running community program at Veeam - we're entering our 11th year! Fortunately, we receive many great applications, but given the nature of our community, we need to keep it consistent and allow all members to get to know each other through the various initiatives and opportunities we offer them throughout the year. And that's just a fraction of the many benefits that come with membership in any of the Veeam 100 Community programs.Bigger PictureWe often use terms like Vanguard, Legend, VeeaMVP interchangeably with Veeam100. Why is that? At Veeam we have 3 different types of community programs - Veeam Vanguards and Veeam Legends are dedicated to our external technical advocates who are n

Veeam Upgrade Center for V11

This topic is replaced by the V12 Upgrade Center:  Doing something new! Here in the Veeam Community Hub I thought this would be a good place for a new piece of content that gives some practical information for the upgrade process for Veeam Backup & Replication V11.  We wanted to put this together here to give each of you an additional way to start the upgrade process! Watch this quick video below for an overview: Now, let’s get into the specific bits that you need to upgrade to V11! We may add sections or clarify things based on feedback, so please leave a comment below and maybe come back to the news section here for updates!Pre-Installation SectionWe recommend you review these key pieces of documentation: The Release Notes should be the first thing you read (these are with the download). Then, I recommend a good read of the What’s New document. Help Center User Guide (VMware vSphere version). Help Center User Guide (Microsoft Hyper-V version). Veeam Backup & Replication V
