What is the primary benefit of migrating to a Veeam subscription?
The primary benefit is moving from a perpetual license model to a subscription, which provides continuous access to the latest features, security updates, and ongoing technical support, ensuring your data protection is always current and efficient.
Will this migration affect my current backup operations?
The migration itself is a licensing change and should not disrupt your ongoing backup operations. It ensures that your existing Veeam deployment will continue to be supported and updated.
