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.

Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to

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?
