Hi @safiya my 2 cents

 

  • What V12 capability are you most anticipating?

MFA, Postgres DB platform and to have Object Storage in the Performance Tier

  • How do you plan upgrades to Veeam Backup & Replication?

We apply upgrade immediatly on our labs 

  • SNARK - Do you tell your boss you are upgrading?

Oh my boss is excited

  • How long do you wait before upgrading?

We work with customers so we need to wait their availability

  • Do you set a test lab for upgrades?

Sure

Oh yes, I forgot about PostgreSQL. 😎

This is a feature I am especially looking for, because we have several Veeam servers hitting the 10GB DB size limit and have expensive MS SQL licenses in use...

Yes, definitely one of the top 5 on my list for sure too.  Getting away from SQL licensing will be a bonus.

Yep…..a lot of SME asking about SQL licensing so they can definitively leave MSSQL to save money.

Need an opinion…   Using Zoomit on Demos.. YAY or NAY?
 

 

 

I think yay...it’s helpful.  Think laser pointer in the old school in-person meetings.

  • What V12 capability are you most anticipating?
    MFA & bugs we encountered which are fixed in V12
  • How do you plan upgrades to Veeam Backup & Replication?
    Releasenotes, forums, blogposts
  • SNARK - Do you tell your boss you are upgrading?
    Yep
  • How long do you wait before upgrading?
    I would like to install it asap within 2 to 4 weeks, but we can't since our cloudconnect provider isn't ready for V12 yet and they don't give an estimate when they are. It would be nice to have a new version to be compatible the with n-1 version, so we don't have to wait for our cloud connect provider.
  • Do you set a test lab for upgrades?
    Yes

Can the V12 Console connect to a V11 server?

We don’t want to upgrade the server first, then be stuck not being able to connect to V12 server from a V11 Console.

Thanks

Aside from the new features, have you also taken a look at the "Ransomware Recovery Warranty"? https://www.veeam.com/products/ransomware-recovery-warranty-terms-conditions.html

I find it very interesting, also as a point to review and optimize on VBR installations all security best practices/check lists!

  • What V12 capability are you most anticipating? - MFA for me!
  • How do you plan upgrades to Veeam Backup & Replication? READ, READ, READ!
  • SNARK - Do you tell your boss you are upgrading? Uhh..yes, or I get fired!
  • How long do you wait before upgrading? I wait a month or so to see what issues have arisen since GA; VBR is the *only* product I upgrade fairly soon...all others I wait until a miminum of an U1 patch
  • Do you set a test lab for upgrades? I haven’t needed to in the 12-13 or so yrs I’ve been using Veeam

    Great post! 
    Cheers all & all the best in your uprades 😊
