you already know what's been happening with the VM backup companies trying to get full vSphere 6.7 support out the door within about 60 to 90 days of its announcement and release:
So when news of the RTM bits surfaced on reddit last Thursday June 22, then yesterday on the Veeam Forums and Veeam Vanguard slack channel, vSphere 6.7 enthusiasts rejoiced. The time had arrived for lab tests to move forward with confidence, given Veeam's track record of well-tested code being delivered within the hoped-for (but never promised) time frame. It's also always entertaining and informative to see what Anton Gostev's Sunday evening newsletter will have to say about how support goes for this 3a release in these early days.
Available for Pro Partners, Veeam Vanguards, and customers:
Setup with agents: VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1922.Update3a.zip
Setup without agents: VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1922.Update3a_noagents.zip
Full ISO with Update 3a: VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1922.Update3a.iso
you'll need to contact Veeam Customer Support for the download links, as explained by Gostev in the forums here. Or you can fill out the NFR request form, which might work for 9.5 3a too, read onward...
If you don't already own Veeam Availability Suite 9.5 that includes Backup & Replication, you'll need to purchase it. If you're a home lab enthusiast looking to test 9.5 3a in a non-production environment, place your NFR request for 9.5 here:

TinkerTry takes extreme care to protect visitors by using only one ad network, BuySellAds, which has never had a security issue to date, and is very commonly used in the virtualization community. I regularly receive lucrative offers from various companies looking to have me inject javascript trackers into TinkerTry, which I turn down, of course.
Veeam has been an advertiser on many virtualization sites for years now, and at times on TinkerTry too. All TinkerTry advertisement goes through third party BuySellAds. None of my articles are sponsored posts, and note that there are currently no affiliate links for Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE, or any of their other products. TinkerTry.com, LLC is not a Veeam Pro Partner, but I am a Veeam Vanguard Program member who received only an early briefings for this conference. There are no commissions for any Veeam products folks buy after reading one of my articles.
I reserve and exercise the right to freely write about topics that I choose, whenever I choose to, an essential part of what makes blogging about home virtualization labs, storage, and backup so much fun for me. I tend to feature products that I actually use for a while, and have proven value for my home lab and home.

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
Ever since cloning produced Dolly the sheep , scientists have copied a slew of mammals ranging from dogs to ponies. Primates, however, have been elusive -- until now. Chinese researchers have successfully cloned a macaque monkey fetus twice, producing sister monkeys Hua Hua and Zhong Zhong using the same basic method used to create Dolly. The team removed the nucleus from monkey eggs and replaced it with DNA from the fetus, implanting the resulting eggs in female monkeys for them to give birth. The process wasn't easy. It took 127 eggs and 79 embryos to get these results, and it still required a fetus to work (Dolly was cloned from an adult). Still, it reflects progress in cloning science. The team managed the feat by injecting both a form of mRNA and an inhibitor, the combination of which improved the development of blastocysts (the structures that form the embryo) and the pregnancy rate for transplanted embryos. Both baby macaques are healthy, the researchers said, and genet...
