Pretty sure neither of these Veeam PowerShell cmdlets have ever existed, ChatGPT just completely making things up. Wish they would turn down the "fake it till you make it" dial :/

If Recall takes a screenshot of my start menu can I finally search it?

My Recall whinge seems to be doing the rounds, so lets be a bit more positive and mention some of the cool things Microsoft has worked on recently: - Entra GSA / Private Access - Entra Passkeys - Bicep for MS Graph - DSCv3 It's not all bad 😎

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about ransomware recovery - DR vs restoring from backup. Is your plan fire up the DR site (assuming it is ok), or restore from backup (assuming backups are ok)? Or rebuild and data-only restore? (Yes I'm glossing over the whole IR process)
