Veeam Hands‑On Labs

You may not know, but last year Veeam launched a set of Hands-On Labs (HOL) to demonstrate the product’s capabilities. One thing I like is that it’s not just a point-and-click Labs, but a whole preconfigured environment.

Example of labs available (and more):

  • Test drive Veeam Backup and Replication V12;
  • Test Drive Veeam Recovery Scenarios;
  • Protect and Enhance your Kubernetes applications with Kasten K10 by Veeam.

You can get access to the HOL as an End user and as a Partner as well.

Notice, that depending on the region the lab set may be different.

After registering to the Lab you will receive an email with instructions on connecting to the environment. It could take a while.

During the test, my overall experience was excellent. The HOLs has clear instructions and a non-lagging environment. So check this out.

How to backup Nutanix AHV using Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1 and Veeam Plug-In for Nutanix AHV v5

In this article, we will look at backing up Nutanix AHV virtual machines using VBR 12.1 and Nutanix AHV Plug-In v5.

The main difference between the v4 plugin and v5 is the possibility of creating backup jobs related to Nutanix AHV VMs right in the VBR console. You don’t need to connect to the backup appliance deployed in a Nutanix cluster to create a backup job.

Also, please make sure, that you’re using version 5.1 of the plugin or higher because of the critical bug found in v5.0.
