In a blog entry linked <a href="http://www.veeam.com/blog/happy-holidays-from-veeamnfrs-for-vcps-vcis-and-vexperts.html">here</a>, Veeam has announced that it's offering free licenses for personal (non-production) use to certain categories of VMware certification holders.

The NFR (Not For Resale) licenses include 2 sockets of <a href="http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esx-backup.html">Veeam Backup &amp; Replication v5 with vPower</a> and <a href="http://www.veeam.com/one-vmware-management.html">Veeam One Solution</a>.

I completed a brief online form and received my licenses. This is on the honor system - no authentication of your certification status is required. This is a great way to backup your VMware lab environment.
