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:

I plan to test this 9.5 Update 3a RTM code out in my own home lab, and am curious to hear how others do with their tests as well via comments below, and/or in the Veeam forums, where "MrPerFormance" already reported success.
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...
It's official. Sprint is definitely giving away free unlimited LTE data through 2018 to those who use laptops packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. We first learned of this last month , and the announcement today clarifies which devices qualify. If you own or buy the HP Envy X2 , ASUS NovaGo or Lenovo Miix 630 , you'll be able to get free unlimited data if you sign up for AutoPay with the carrier. This won't cover devices using the new Snapdragon 850 chipset , although that's not available in an actual computer yet, and we'll possibly hear more later this year. Always-available data connectivity is perhaps the biggest selling point of Windows on Snapdragon devices, which promise gigabit LTE speeds wherever you are. While it would be nice to see other carriers offer similar deals, just to have an alternative option, this offer makes these...
ASUS may well have pulled out of the Android smartwatch market after its ZenWatch 3 , but it's actually not quite done yet with wearables. At Computex, the company made a little surprise by unveiling the VivoWatch BP, which is a follow-up to the original low-power VivoWatch from three years ago. We're looking at a handful of new features and improvements here, with the main highlight being the built-in blood pressure monitor -- a rare feature in the smartwatch category. The only other recent direct competitor is the Omron HeartGuide , which is also due to lau nch later this year. The VivoWatch BP won't be winning praises for its appearance. While the previously monochromatic high-reflective display has now gained some colors, it's also gained a much thicker bezel to accommodate extra sensors on the front. The screen is positioned i...
