[What (else) is new in v12 - VI] Two-factor authentication for VBR console

Quite a cool new feature is the ability to enable Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the VBR console login. With this a user has to enter username, password and an additional confirmation code that comes from a Authenticator app like Google Authenticator.At first login, User can add VBR to his Authenticator app.It is really simple to use.BUT: 2FA works only for VBR console, NOT for PowerShell!Another security improvement is the option for Automatic Session logoff:

VeeamON 2023 How to get to Miami Beach without and Uber of Taxi

Hi Folks, I like to travel in local style while in new cities. Taxi and Uber rides for me are the same everywhere, but train, bus and feet always provide a different experience. Just ask @Chris.Childerhose and Nico Stein about our fun ride on the Prague metro then long walk through the city :). Anyways, Miami is no exception. For $2.25 you can get a bus to Miami Beach. There is a free shuttle that runs up and down Miami Beach as well. Checkout the options here: https://www.miami-airport.com/public-transportation.asp

Veeam Backup & Replication + Cloned AIX Servers – Clashing UUIDs And Overriding Them

Another interesting case from the field today. I had a customer that had historically cloned the disk of their AIX platform, without any further modification. This had suited them fine for years until the Veeam Agent for AIX came along and wanted to utilise some supposedly unique attributes of the installation as the basis of its UUID.This manifested in a bizarre scenario that didn’t appear during testing, but started when the agents were deployed out to all the relevant servers. Instead of seeing a long list of hosts with the Veeam Agent for AIX deployed, I saw no more than four.As the Veeam Agents were being manually rolled out, I didn’t know yet that this was actually an issue I was seeing, but instead my first assumption was a slow rollout was being performed.It wasn’t long however before I was alerted to an issue by the AIX team. Some installations were failing, with the following error:cli | Thread [Establish connect to VBR <VBR.FQDN.TLD>:10006; <VBRHOSTNAME>:10006

Solutions for Quarterly Backups to Cloud GFS?

Hi Folks, I have been out of the Cloud Connect loop for a bit. As I understand it you can no longer do Quarterly GFS backups on backup copy jobs to CC. Has anyone thought of some original ideas to get around this? If you have a customer that wants to send GFS to AWS Quarterly, I was thinking for them to simply add a direct AWS s3 repo to  V12 and if their bandwidth allows use the windows scheduler to run active fulls every quarter. Anyone else had this issue?

Understanding Best Practices "Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365"

Hi Team, i want to share my latest best practice article about VB365. It is more a “understanding best practices” (the official titel is a bit missleading) and why there is not only one best practice for all installations. https://www.veeam.com/blog/veeam-backup-for-microsoft-365-best-practices.html If you have questions or feedback feel free to contact me.

Where do place you VBR server OnPremise on Azure? If we want to transfer backup data located in the Azure block to another S3 compatible storage, will transaction fees be applied?thanks in advance

Google Cloud Storage as SOBR Archive Tier?

For v12, it seems that only Azure or S3 (Glacier) are supported as Archive Tiers for SOBR.  I would like to use Google (archive buckets) but I don’t get the option to choose it as an archive tier.   Is this possible?  If not, will it be supported in an upcoming version(s?)   what about other cloud storage like Wasabe/S3 compatible? Thanks.

Within that I get the link to get the JobReference information. That's all fine, but what I need to get is the job log data:  Is this information available via the api? Thanks,Tim.
