Woohoo! This Patch Tuesday, Microsoft fixes a long-standing performance bug tracked on #Veeam forums since 2019! If you're running #HyperV on WS2022+, check this KB to ensure you get the fix. If you're on WS2019, plan that upgrade! #MVPBuzz #VeeamVanguard

Protecting #Proxmox with #Veeam? Note that there's an issue with backing up powered-off VMs in HA environments. Fortunately, Veeam offers a KB with a solution. A simple config change to lock the VM during backup will resolve it. #Veeam100 #VeeamVanguard

Are you using #Veeam Backup for Microsoft #Azure older than v6? Microsoft will retire Azure AD Graph on Feb 1, 2025, affecting older Veeam versions. Upgrade to v6 or higher (v7 recommended) ASAP. More info: #Veeam100 #VeeamCommunity #VeeamVanguard #MVPBuzz

@k00laidIT Yeah, Azure Stack HCI has evolved into Azure Local, moving up from just a hypervisor stack to an azure integrated solution. Closer ties with Azure Arc to enable Azure Services in your DC and at the Edge.

@dips_nk Full lifecycle time, my old lab is just that, old and power hungry. So I've got 3 new hosts, with new all-flash storage to replace my spinning rust based boxes. Intel gold 5120 CPUs, plenty of ddr4 ram, all 10GbE RDMA networking and NVMe storage. It's a beast
