Manual #Veeam audits for VDC Vault migrations are a total slog. I got tired of clicking through 100s of jobs to check encryption and retention, so I built a local analyzer tool to do it for me. Drop in a HealthCheck JSON and see your blockers. buff.ly/YibmAsg #VeeamCommunity #VDCVault

Microsoft Defender scanning a 4TB .vbk file is a great way to kill your backup performance. I got tired of manually adding the 50+ exclusions from KB1999 every time I built a server. So I scripted it. Smartly. buff.ly/LIl0mfN #VeeamCommunity #Veeam #MVPBuzz #PowerShell

Veeam Data Cloud finally has dark mode. My eyes can finally stop burning during late-night config sessions. It is tucked under the appearance menu in the top right. 🌙

It’s the little things that win me over. In #Veeam v13, the #VBR console finally handles its own updates. No more digging for ISOs or manual installs after patching the server. Just connect, click update, and you’re back in. Huge time saver for the lab. #VeeamCommunity #MVPBuzz

Just knocked out a full #VBR appliance patch before my coffee even got cold. ☕️

Under 10 minutes to hit v13.0.1.1071. No RDP, no mounting ISOs, and zero Windows Update drama. It’s hard to justify sticking with the Windows install for the lab after seeing this.

Love the VDC Vault UI, but sometimes you just need raw data for Excel?

I built a Chrome Extension to export tenant stats & storage usage directly to CSV. Handy for billing/chargeback workflows.

Veeam Blog Advent Calendar 2025: Unwrapping 24 Days of Backup Magic | Homelabpro Blog | Andre Atkinson

Doing something a little crazy this silly season, a Veeam Advent Calendar, blog style!

Made a classic mistake, deleted a LHR VM before I removed it from Veeam. Left me with an entry that wouldn’t clean up from VBR. The fix from Rhys Hammond was brilliant in its simplicity: just deploy a temp Linux VM with the same IP address. buff.ly/nCZrbOU #VeeamCommunity #Veeam100 #VeeamVanguard

Infra item delete failed Error: A connection attempted failed | rhyshammond.com

I recently deployed a Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR) ISO which involved removing the old Ubuntu based VHR server. Unfortunately I was a little too eager and deleted the VM before I had removed it from Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR). When I attempted to remove the old VHR the following error was displayed.
