I decided to see how ChatGPT can help an everyday backup or infrastructure engineer working with Veeam make your life easier I asked it some questions that might be relevant in day to day operations of an engineer.

  

1. Help with some basic Veeam Sizing :

Again as per disclaimer you should be using Veeam provided sizing tools like :

2. Some Veeam general product advice :

Note these answers could be different as ChatGPT data set is up to 2021 , Veeam product since has multiple releases.

 

 

3. Some Scripting code examples to use for automation or integration in Veeam:

Note in some cases you need to alter the code , helpful tip is to run the example code and share the potential error responses back into ChatGPT , AI will respond with helpful changes to script.

 

4. Product compatibility & supported platform question:

Note: again this is based on 2021 data models , so the responses might be outdated.

 

5. Cybersecurity Recommendation:

Note: This being quite a critical topic , its good to get a base line understanding but I would definitely check-in with a Veeam System Engineer or Architect.

 

6. Support assistance:

I like this example , if you encounter an error in a Veeam , you can use ChatGPT to give you troubleshooting steps to assist you in understanding the issue , of course this does not take away from Veeam support & you should always involve our support experts.

 

 7. Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) study help:

I really do like this this example , we have some great study guides and practice exams , but I like the fact that ChatGPT can quickly create some sample questions & quiz you on them in preparation , I cant guarantee that is will help you pass but is a nice use case.

 

 

 8. Writing Emails:

I have seen the huge potential with ChatGPT in sales to assist sales people on building the basic structure of an email to their customer , here a different take , technical persons who might not have good written skills can leverage ChatGPT to assist in that regard.

 

9.  Career Advice:

I found this very useful for nay aspiring person in the tech industry wanting to improve themselves and aspire to career opportunities, ChatGPT can assist with some guidance in this regard.

 

10. Content Creation:

If you are an influencer or a technology evangelist, let ChatGPT assist you in content creation ideas , example here asking it to consider the above questions asked and help turn that into a blog post concept, of course this is a base point in assisting with content creation.

 

Conclusion:

 With alot of mix emotions around ChatGPT , i do feel its benefits to enhancing ones daily functions rather than threatening to replace ones daily functions , if anything you can get time back & focus on newer technologies or other areas of IT that might not get that much attention.
