Presentation
As cyberattacks and ransomware become increasingly sophisticated, protecting data integrity and availability is critical. A backup alone is no longer enough: organisations need operational resilience that can withstand disruption while simplifying the management of complex hybrid infrastructures.
This 4-day technical course develops the skills to configure, manage and support Veeam Backup & Replication v13 within Veeam Data Platform. Extensive practical work teaches you to protect workloads, including virtual machines, physical servers and unstructured data, and optimise backups. You will also learn to secure your infrastructure and respond effectively to different recovery scenarios.
This course does not award a certification, but it is one of the three courses required for eligibility to take the Veeam Certified Engineer+ (VMCE+) certification exam.
