Every time I get access to a new Veeam BETA release, I have the same routine. I spin it up in the lab, build out a realistic customer environment, and start testing. While new platform support and performance improvements are always exciting, the first area I wanted to explore in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1 BETA was security.
There’s always something exciting about getting access to a new Veeam beta release. As someone who spends most of my time in the lab testing new features before customers deploy them, I couldn’t wait to spin up Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1 Beta and see what it brings.
Let’s be honest—most disaster recovery plans look great on paper. That’s if you have a Disaster Recovery Plan available. I ask my customers and most don’t have one. What’s even worse is they don’t test their restores.
I recently deployed the Veeam Plug-in for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials version 13 (RTM) on my Veeam Backup lab server, which is running v13.0.1. Once tested, I’ll have it available to demonstrate to my customers. Veeam has introduced a dedicated plug‑in that enables image‑level backup and restore for virtual machines running on HPE VM Essentials.
In my lab, I spent time integrating PowerProtect Data Manager with a Data Domain DD6410 to better understand deployment flow, configuration requirements, and real-world operational behavior. The process was straightforward overall, but there are several things worth validating immediately after deployment to avoid performance or retention problems later.
It was a technical milestone last week for me in the lab after successfully migrating my Veeam v13.0.1 backup server from Windows to a Linux VSA.

You’ve probably heard the 3-2-1 rule a hundred times. Keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy offsite. It’s been the gold standard of backup strategy for years — and for good reason.
This is my first blog, I’m a Team Lead and Sr. Solutions Architect for the Data Protection Practice at a Veeam partner.
