Reading Time: 4 minutesAs I mentioned in the Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2 upgrade notes article, a Veeam Backup upgrade does NOT upgrade the embedded database (if you are using the embedded database deployment).

Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis book is part of Operationalize Your World (OYW), a workshop that Kenon Owens and Iwan ‘e1’ Rahabok created back in 2016 as a free book (Iwan is the same author of the VMware vSphere Metrics, 4th edition book also available for free).

Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware vSphere 8.0.3 introduces several new features and also a new snapshot management. One of the issues of VM snapshots is that people forget to delete them: according to VMware snapshot management recommended practices you shoul NOT keep snapshots for more than 3 days (I suggest to don’t keep them for more than one day, because usually you have backups as other possible restore points).
