Veeam Blog Advent Calendar 2025: Unwrapping 24 Days of Backup Magic
Welcome to the Veeam Blog Advent Calendar!
Hello everyone, and welcome to December! As we approach the festive season, I’m absolutely thrilled to kick off something special, a Veeam Blog Advent Calendar that will take us right through to Christmas Eve!
Think of this as your daily dose of Veeam goodness, unwrapping a new topic each day as we count down to the holidays. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa by the fire or catching up during your lunch break, I’ll be here sharing insights, tips, and discoveries from the world of Veeam Backup & Replication.
What’s Inside This Advent Calendar?
Over the next 24 days, we’ll explore four exciting themes that will help you close out 2025 strong and head into 2026 with fresh ideas and inspiration:
Automation
Let’s face it, nobody wants to spend their holidays (or any time, really!) clicking through repetitive tasks. I’ll share practical automation techniques, scripts, and workflows that will help you work smarter, not harder. From PowerShell magic to REST API wizardry, we’ll explore ways to let Veeam do the heavy lifting while you focus on what matters most.
Security
In today’s threat landscape, backup security isn’t just nice to have, it’s absolutely essential. We’ll dive into hardening your backup infrastructure, implementing immutability, managing access controls, and ensuring your backups are the last line of defense when (not if) things go wrong. Consider this your gift to future you!
Hidden Features
Veeam is packed with incredible capabilities that often fly under the radar. I’m talking about those features that don’t always make it into the spotlight but can be absolute game-changers when you know they exist. Prepare to discover some hidden gems that might just transform how you use Veeam.
Looking Back at 2025
What a year it’s been! We’ll reflect on the major releases, updates, and milestones from the Veeam ecosystem in 2025. It’s always fun to look back and appreciate how far we’ve come – and get excited about where we’re heading.
What to Expect
Each day through December, I’ll publish a new post diving into one of these topics. Some will be quick tips you can implement in minutes, others will be deeper dives into complex scenarios. All of them will be practical, tested, and ready for you to use in your own environment.
Whether you’re a Veeam veteran or just starting your backup journey, there’ll be something for everyone. I’ll keep things conversational, share real-world examples from my homelab adventures, and hopefully spark some ideas for your own infrastructure.
Join Me on This Journey!
I can’t wait to share this series with you. It’s going to be a fun ride, and I’m genuinely excited about the content I’ve prepared. So grab your favorite festive beverage, get comfortable, and let’s make this December one to remember!
From my homelab to yours, wishing you all a wonderful festive season ahead. May your backups always complete successfully, your restores be lightning-fast, and your infrastructure remain rock-solid throughout the holidays and beyond! 🎅
See you tomorrow for Day 2!
Happy holidays, and happy backing up! 🎁
