Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication v11 — PUBLISHED

“Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication 11” is now in publication (since February 2022) and is ready to order either the book or e-book/kindle.

Well, since writing my first book on v10, I debated to myself about writing the update of the book to v11.  It took me some time to process and think about if I wanted to do it, which I then took the plunge.  This time, the process was much smoother as I had already done the first book and understood the templates, formatting, etc.  The team at Packt worked with me again and my busy schedule to create something I think that everyone will enjoy reading.  Whether you are a newbie with Veeam or a seasoned expert, you can learn something I think from this book.
