I'm not trying to sell anything right now. Long story short, I'm building a Veeam backup target solution that is hopefully super simple and secure. But I don't have any workloads to test it.

Would anyone be willing to spend a few minutes with me testing our solution? Again, there is no sales or marketing involved, I'm just trying to validate if things work at this point.

Basically I need anyone that has Veeam to set up an offsite backup target pointing to our service. Then just initiate a backup. Maybe send a few GB or something, nothing crazy. Then attempt to pull the chunks back and do a restore.

If someone is willing to do me a solid I'd really appreciate it.

I have (16) Dell 15.36TB NVMe U.2 drives that I've been using for homelab projects for a few years, but with the prices of everything right now, our family could use the money more than we could use the NVMe storage.

Here is SMART info for 1 of the drives. The other 15 would be similar specs. If I list them for sale, I would obviously include SMART info for each drive.
