Long enough to have seen backup tapes, floppy disks, and more \u201cnext big things\u201d than I can count.<br>My focus has always been on <strong>data protection, backup, and virtualization<\/strong>, but over the years I\u2019ve learned that sharing knowledge is just as valuable as gathering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Blogging to Beaming Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started blogging back in <strong>2010<\/strong>, actually running <strong>two different blogs<\/strong> over the years.<br>In <strong>2024<\/strong>, I decided to shut them down. Time became a rare resource between <strong>family, work, and other adventures<\/strong>, and honestly, I felt like traditional blogging wasn\u2019t quite in sync with the pulse of our fast-moving tech world anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here\u2019s the twist: even if blogs sometimes fade, <strong>information doesn\u2019t stop flowing<\/strong>.<br>There are so many small but important updates, lessons learned, and hidden gems that deserve to be seen and that\u2019s why the <strong>Lighthouse Program Newsletter<\/strong> was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea? Every <strong>two weeks<\/strong>, I send out a <strong>compact summary of my most relevant IT news, discoveries, and insights<\/strong> &#8211; only when there\u2019s really something worth sharing. No spam, no fluff, just light to navigate the data seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If one of my posts or newsletters helps you solve a problem or sparks an idea, then the lighthouse did its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Veeam Expert<\/strong> &#8211; specializing in data protection strategies and virtualization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tech Blogger &amp; Speaker<\/strong> \u2013 making complex topics approachable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community Contributor<\/strong> \u2013 sharing knowledge and supporting others in the IT Pro community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get in touch!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>you can follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lessi001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@lessi001<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>connect at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andreas-lesslhumer-2bb2725b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or just leave a comment here in the lighthouse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disclaimer: the views expressed anywhere on this site are strictly mine and not the opinions and views of my employer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Lighthouse-Program!
