A brief description of the in-place upgrade of Veeam ONE 12 to version 12.2. The whole process is simple and hassle-free. It should work similarly for other versions as well.

How to better and more securely resolve service accounts for running services or scheduled tasks in a Microsoft Active Directory domain environment. Managed service accounts have been available for a long time. Managed Service Accounts were added with Windows Server 2008 R2. They help address service identities with greater security and reduce management overhead. The administrator doesn't have to worry about passwords because secure password management for the accounts is provided by the Windows operating system. They are used to non-interactively run applications, services, processes, or tasks that need a secure identity (credential).

The way backup files are stored has been modified in Backup & Replication 12. Primarily Per-Machine Backup with Separate Metadata Files is used. The Backup Copy Job has also changed quite a bit. In this article, we'll take a look at how the new Backup Copy Job works. And we'll practically describe copying backups to a remote location when the data is large and a complete transfer over the WAN would take too long. We will use Seeding and transfer the data (initial Full Backup) offline on an external USB drive. After that, we map the copy job to the transferred data.

We will look at backing up Oracle databases using the Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN. We will describe a newer option (from VBR version 12), when backup is controlled from Veeam Backup & Replication Server. That is, centrally as common backup types. This is the managed mode (Managed Mode) of the Veeam Plug-in. Protection Groups are used to deploy and manage plug-ins (as well as agents).

We will look at using ExtremeCloud IQ cloud management for the basic configuration of an Extreme Networks Wireless Access Point. We will focus on updating the APčka operating system version. Working with credentials. Configure basic properties and create a wireless network (WLAN) with SSID using Network Policy. We will mention methods for deploying a policy to a device.

A little introduction to Extreme Networks and their AP305 access point for wireless networks (Wi-Fi). We will describe the creation of an account (registration) in the ExtremeCloud IQ cloud management. We will connect the new Access Point AP305c to this management.

We have a situation where for some application, here we will show for SSL VPN on Fortinet FortiGate, we are using Microsoft Entra ID user authentication using SAML 2.0. When we set up SAML Single sign-on in the Enterprise Application, a self-signed certificate with a validity of 3 years was generated. This is used for communication between the application and Entra ID. We will describe the procedure for renewing (replacing) a certificate when it expires.

The Veeam ONE solution uses a rich client that enables monitoring of backup and virtual infrastructure. And a web client that provides dashboards and reports. In this article, we'll look at the basic usage and features of the rich Veeam ONE Client for infrastructure monitoring and management. An important part of the solution are alarms that alert you to events, changes and problems.

We will describe the behavior and possible configurations of a somewhat specific situation. If a device on the LAN (behind the FortiGate) accesses another device on the same or adjacent network (connected to the FortiGate) through an external IP address (network). Destination (Destination) and possibly source (Source) address translation (NAT - Network Address Translation) is used. This situation is referred to as NAT Hairpinning, Hairpin NAT, NAT loopback or NAT reflection. What matters is when and how FortiOS uses Source NAT.

Veeam ONE is a solution for monitoring and analyzing the Veeam Backup & Replication backup solution, but also the entire virtual infrastructure on the VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V platform. We will describe basic installation and configuration, connection to Veeam Backup & Replication Server, VMware vCenter Server and System Center Virtual Machine Manager Server. Installation is simple and not much configuration is required to make the product work. But some things are good to know.
