So, how enthralled, engaged, and energized was everyone on your last video call or webinar? Did you look at those faces? How can you, or anyone, reignite virtually any virtual team? The team mojo sinkhole happened so fast. Isn’t it just insane?

But now’s the time to put the “new normal” under the microscope and ensure that remote working is secure and safe. In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, many businesses have made the decision to switch to permanent remote working, having adapted successfully to it over the last few months.

Overview. Generally, it is good to be informed of low backup storage situations on Veeam repositories. Running out of disk storage during backup operations can result in corrupted backups. By default, Veeam is configured to trigger a warning notification when backup storage space is 10% or less free space. For example, if you have 1TB of storage and the notification is set to warning at 10% left then it would trigger when there is 100GB or less space.
