Backup Academy - Free Training Sessions with Virtualization Experts


Here's something you don't find to often these days, free training from Virtualization Experts surrounding the backup and recovery of VMware and Hyper-V environments. The training is targeted at IT admins & IT support individuals who are getting started or interested in learning more about the the backup and recovery capabilities within the virtualization arena.

Veeam have created the Academy and yet the training is product neutral so no attempts to brainwash you into buying Veeam Backup & Replication. At this point in time there are 8 detailed videos presented by the current team of Backup Academy Professors:
  • David Davis (vExpert, CCIE & VCAP)
  • Elias Khnaser (vExpert)
  • Eric Siebert (vExpert)
  • Greg Shields (MVP, vExpert) &
  • Rick Vanover (MCITP, vExpert & VCP)

Each training video is approximately 30 minutes and contains all the required information to pass the Backup Academy exam. The exam contains 30+ questions and checks your competency on the backup and recovery of virtual machines. A quick 10 question exam can also be taken prior to the full exam and gives you a good idea of your current competency level (I just scored 89%, so I need to do a bit of brushing up) The videos, podcasts and slides can all be obtained via http://www.backupacademy.com/downloads.html

Veeam are also looking for more contributors, so if you are an expert in the field of virtual backups you can apply to become an academy contributor via http://www.backupacademy.com/become_a_contributor.html
