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.
