Veeam ONE • false alarms on v13.

hi,

Just looking at some of the alarms being reported in Veeam ONE when checking a V13 Backup and Replication appliance.
I think there are some

1. "Backup services should be running under the LocalSystem account"
suggestion: Best practice "Backup services should be running under the LocalSystem account" has Not implemented status.
*The V13 appliance isn't windows based, so I think this message should not be triggered when reporting on a V13 appliance.

2. MFA for the backup console should be enabled
suggestion: Best practice "MFA for the backup console should be enabled" has Not implemented status
*the V13 Appliance doesn't allow access without MFA so think this shouldn't be triggered when monitoring a V13 appliance. In our case we have V13 B&R dialed in SAML and corporate policy dictates o365 MFA anyway.

3. Password loss protection should be enabled
suggestion: Best practice "Password loss protection should be enabled" has Not implemented status
* We aren't using B&R Enterprise manager as we have only a single instance of B&R at this stage. There is a support note I think; https://www.veeam.com/kb4342 but it appears the only solution is to deploy Enterprise Manager - is this really the case? Reason why is we have saved the encryption key within our own password vault.

thanks
Ashley
