To all my colleagues and fellow Vanguards, who spoke words of encouragement and praise about my writing a book, it is truly humbling to have a great community in the Veeam Vanguards/Legends and colleagues that support your work.

Chris Childerhose is an information technology professional with over 26 years of experience in network/systems architecture, network and systems administration, and technical support. He is a Veeam Vanguard/Veeam Legend and is a Veeam Certified Architect and Veeam Certified Engineer. He also has the following certifications: vExpert, VCAP-DCA, VCP-DCV, and MCITP.

Chris is also an avid blogger on all things virtual, focusing on Veeam and VMware.

Writing a book is more challenging than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined, and a second edition is still quite a task. None of this would have been possible without my wife, Julie. She stood by me during every struggle and my successes, including many nights writing. She was someone I could talk about my book with and how things were going. She always pushes me and I will be forever thankful for this.

I'm eternally grateful to Rick Vanover of Veeam, who took the time to do a technical review of my second book and all of my chapters when he didn't have to. I genuinely have no words to thank him for this amazing selflessness to help a fellow Veeamer on a second book about Veeam with his perspective.
