Born from the Veeam Community Hackathon 2025, Open Backup UI is a unified, self-hosted dashboard that brings VBR, Recovery Orchestrator, and Backup for Microsoft 365 together in a single modern web UI — built entirely by the community, for the community.
In this special edition of The V100 Show, we go behind the scenes and dive into:
* How Team 1 turned a hackathon idea into a working monitoring dashboard — live demo included
* The tech behind it: Next.js, TypeScript, and the Veeam REST APIs, container-ready with Podman/Docker
* Lessons learned from building as a distributed community team
The big announcement: the 4th Annual Veeam Community Hackathon (Oct 12–16, 2026) — sign-ups open now until Sep 30! If you’re curious about the Veeam APIs, community-driven development, or want to join the next Hackathon yourself, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
