Good morning to all,I don’t see VUG Italy group…We can start ??I’m disposable !

Hi Folks, I found that Rancher have a free certification. Rancher is Kubernetes but not a build it yourself one like Kubeadm. They also created the k3s version of Kuberentes that runs on a lot of appliances. I have gone through the first lessons and they are very straight forward. https://academy.rancher.com/courses/course-v1:RANCHER+K101+2019/about cheers

Hi,does veeam archive guarantees that archived data will be readable for 10-30 years? We need to ensure that archived data will be readable due to company requirements. We are using the archive extent in the scale outs. Configured with a gfs retention. They are stored as full backups. People are saying that a backup tool is not an archive tool. I would like to avoid useing another archive tool. We need something offical.

Hi all Since yesterday there is a new patch available for VBO365.A couple of smaller issues that has been resolved with installing this patch.KB4158: Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 5b cumulative patch KB4158  regardsNico

The CIS Benchmarks are essential for finding security issues in IT. CIS-CAT is a tool that can evaluate your systems and provide information on remediating security issues. For Kubernetes you must purchase CIS-CAT PRO.However, there is an open-source alternative KUBE BENCH. There are various ways to run KUBE BENCH but the simplest is to download the package for your OS and run it in on your controlplane node.https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench#running-in-a-kubernetes-cluster Download the latest version:Install the binaries: Run the defined benchmarks, in our case cis-1.5: The results will come out with a convenient colour scheme:  For each section a count of pass, warn, and fail is provided with a concrete actions to remediate the problems: After taking the necessary corrective measures you can run the tests again.Now your cluster is lean and mean, next step you need to back it up :)

Hi Folks,I know a lot of you are busy studying for various exams. I like to use flashcards for memorization. I use Anki as it is free and can be installed on laptops and phones. https://apps.ankiweb.net/ I generally create my questions/answers on my laptop and then use the flashcards whenever I get free moment on my phone.   

Hi I’m using Veeam community edition 11. I have 2 physical machines that are only on a few times a week, never on Saturday when the synthetic backup takes place. I have retention set to 7 days. Will these devices ever do a full back and the older restore points be removed ?

Pls share what you like most about Veeam backup software.

Is there any chance that Veeam will sponsor for a training+certification exam? :)and what is the validity of VMCE?

For this post I planed to share some time and bandwidth comparison for backups in my lab. But it is some kind of difficult to get representative data in a fully virtualized demo environment.So I am very happy @Gostev pointed out this topic in his last Words from Gostev (Veeam R&D Forums Digest) from 8.2.2021. If you are not subscribed to this newsletter: do so! https://forums.veeam.com/I want to summarize important facts here:Backup performance per appliance (all-in-one box) doubles in v11. Revise and optimize basics: How are backup files written to disk. Shared memory transport engine, when source- and target-datamover on same box. Implemented full NUMA awareness Enhance the data movers placement logic to ensure they never end up on different CPUs. All this, and I assume much more, leads to an incredible performance. Veeam tested with an HPE Apollo 4510 Gen 10 Server – which is really a perfect backup target – as a all-in-one appliance. Veeam was able to peak at 11.4 GB/s (!) b

Hi Friends, pls share your experience about Veeam 2021 event &key takeaways from it.

Not long ago we setup a single node test Kubernetes cluster on our laptop using Minikube.Now let’s install the next generation of backup technology! Kasten.Kasten means box or container in German just in case you were wondering about the funny name :)We have already installed Chocolatey on our Windows laptop so we can go ahead and use it to install Helm. Helm is like a Linux software package manager but for Kubernetes: choco install Kubernetes-helm We will now use Helm to install the Kasten Helm Chart. You can find out more about Helm here: https://helm.sh/First, we must create a kasten-io namespace:kubectl create ns kasten-ioA namespace is a segregated area where only the pods for this setup will run. Next we need to add the Kasten repository to Helm so that it knows where to get our Kasten images: helm repo add kasten https://charts.kasten.io/ We are all set and ready to go.The install command is pretty straight forward but if you will remember we setup local storage in Minikube usin

The latest Veeam Cumulative Patch, modified today it appears, now has supportability for CDP in vSphere 7U2. You can view the release notes for the patch here.

Update: Patch 20210525 brings CDP support for 7.0 U2The long-awaited patch for Veeam Backup&Replication v11, which brings support for vSphere 7.0 U2, has been released.https://www.veeam.com/kb4126It's important to note that CDP won't work with 7.0 U2 as there's a driver signing issue. So if you're working with Veeam CDP then you still should wait before updating.Added VMware vSphere 7.0 U2 support including new vSphere API version awareness and virtual hardware version 19 compatibility. Note: CDP functionality is not yet supported with vSphere 7.0 U2 due to the I/O filter drivers signing infrastructure issue at VMware, support will be added in the next cumulative patch.More information on the vSphere 7.0U2 support can be found in the forums: https://forums.veeam.com/vmware-vsphere-f24/vsphere-7-0-u2-support-t72668.html
