About Veeam Hands‑on Labs

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It is been a while and I am searching for a robust lab for demo/technical hands-on purposes for Veeam products. One of my best friends and a Veeam employee provided me the link to Veeam hands-on labs.

What are Veeam Hands-On Labs?

Veeam Hands-On Labs (HOLs) are interactive, web-based environments allowing you to test-drive Veeam solutions safely and in a controlled setting. Beyond traditional tutorials, these labs provide a real-world simulation of enterprise-grade data protection scenarios.

Whether you’re a seasoned IT professional or just starting your journey in data protection, Veeam HOLs offer numerous benefits:

Gain practical experience: Learn by doing, not just watching. HOLs let you experiment with Veeam solutions firsthand, solidifying your understanding of their capabilities.
Explore different scenarios: Each lab focuses on a specific challenge or task, such as ransomware recovery, multi-cloud data management, or application-specific backups. This variety allows you to delve deeper into areas that interest you most.
