Offtopic - The Fun Internet

I was chatting with a few friends just now and I was reminded of the old internet. You know, the fun internet where things like Facebook and Instagram didn’t exist. Fark was active. Slashdot was where you got all your technical news from, BBSs were still active and you looked forward to the next Strongbad email. My favorite fun internet was ASCII Star Wars.telnet towel.blinkenlights.nlAnyone else have any gems from the old days you can remember and share? Many of the younger generation may not remember, but I do, and I miss it.

Gateway servers used for SOBR offloading in "Direct" mode

If you set your S3 repos gateway server to direct mode, I would have expected the entity getting in touch with backup data to do the offload.In direct to object jobs it works just like that. Proxy will do the upload with a primary job. Repo will do the upload with a backup copy job. But with SOBR offloading to capacity tier it seems to be the VBR server doing the offload for all S3 buckets in direct mode.Can someone confirm this observation?Would be another reason to always have GW servers specified for each and every S3 repo.

Fortify your digital immune system with Veeam and Microsoft Sentinel using Syslog - Part 2, Creating Analytics Rules

In my previous article, I walked through the process of setting up Microsoft Sentinel and configuring Azure Arc and Azure Monitor Agent to collect Veeam application events using syslog. It had a great response from the Veeam community both externally and internally, and I’m happy to share part two with you today. Let’s dive right in. Analytics rulesNow that you have your Veeam events ingesting into Sentinel, it’s time to define the business logic that scans the data for notable events. These are called analytics rules. Based on the rules you define, Sentinel will create alerts and incidents based on the events occurring in your environment.You have a few options to create rules. For our example, we’ll use the scheduled query rule option to run a query every 15 minutes. However, as with many cybersecurity scenarios, time is of the essence, and the sooner you are aware of an event, the sooner you can respond and minimize impact.Accordingly, Microsoft provides an option for an NRT query r

Veeam 12.1.2 Compatiblity Support - vSphere 8.0.3 - Important information

Hey Everyone,I wanted to share that Veeam now claims compatibility support of VMware vSphere 8.0.3 in the latest version of Veeam Backup & Replication V12.1.2.172.Please be aware of a couple of important limitations:Backup jobs including vCLS VMs: Due to changes in vSphere 8.0.3, backup jobs that include vCLS VMs (typically when using vSphere Cluster or ESXi Server scope) may fail. As a temporary solution, you can manually exclude these VMs from your backup jobs or utilize Global VM exclusions. Veeam is aware of this issue and plans to address it in the upcoming V12.2 update.NSX-T 4.2.0 support: At this time, we have not been able to test and confirm support for NSX-T 4.2.0 due to Broadcom's current unavailability of the software for backup partners. We are actively working with Broadcom to resolve this and will provide updates as soon as possible.For more details, please refer to the following KB Articles:Veeam Backup & Replication support for VMware vSpherehttps://www.veeam.

EFD3: Object Storage For Disaster Recovery

I was honored to be selected as a delegate last week to Edge Field Day 3 in Santa Clara, CA. While there I presented an Ignite Talk on utilizing Object Storage in your Disaster Recovery strategy. This is the shorter version of this talk that I’ve been giving this year but the only one that’s made its way to YouTube so I thought I’d share. Are you leverage Object today?

Veeam Toolbar Not Showing For SQL Server Plug-In

We’ve installed the SQL Server Plug-in on a couple of test boxes, but the Veeam toolbar isn’t showing up in SSMS when we open it up. Is there a trick to get it to show up so our DBA can manage Veeam backups from within SSMS?We installed the plug-in with an account that was in the local Administrators group. We right-clicked and selected “run as administrator” when we launched the installer. We went through the Veeam Plugin Configuration application. But after all of that, when we open SSMS the Veeam toolbar doesn’t show up like it does in all of the demo videos. We’ve checked the “view” settings but Veeam plugin isn’t an option there.Any help what we are missing would be appreciated. Edit: Veeam 12.1.0.2131, SSMS v15.0.18369.0, Windows Server 2019 Standard

OFFLINE backup copy using rotating USB disks – part 3

The sequel of part 2 😉And it seems that a part 4 is also needed 🙄 Backup copy job : VBR creates the first time of course a full backup file on the currently attached disk When you swap the disk and if it is empty, it will create a full backup on itIf there is a backup chain on it for this job, it will create a new incremental in the current chain. The latest incremental is the start point of the new incrementalThe retention policy will be applied, so all backup-files that are outdated will be removed from the backup chainBecause I always use a backup copy job in combination with rotated drives as a offline/airgapped solution I always recommend the customer to swap the disks on a weekly basis. Therefore I mostly configure the job with 7 to 10 restore points meaning 1 full and 6 to 9 incrementals.I don’t care about the total wanted restore points, I see the number of restore points per disk. I tell you later why.Normally the disks chosen are having a capacity of +/- 2 times a full back

Fortify your digital immune system with Veeam and Microsoft Sentinel using Syslog - Part 1

I’d like to draw your attention to a small but significant feature that was introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1: Syslog support. As documented in the user guide (and in Veeam KB4522 with a few extra details), VBR 12.1’s syslog conforms to the industry standard RFC 5424 specification and supports UDP, TCP, and TLS transports.This feature opens the door to a huge array of security solutions. As you’ll see, this creates new opportunities for customers to incorporate VBR’s application events and malware signals into their broader security architectures and workflows to fortify their digital immune system.Veeam Backup & Replication, Meet Microsoft SentinelAs an example of what’s possible with syslog, I will walk you through how to set up VBR to send events to Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft’s cloud-native SIEM.Solution diagram - Veeam Backup & Replication sends event data to Microsoft Sentinel using syslog and Azure Monitor AgentUsing Azure Arc and the Azure Monitor Agen

Agent deployment issue - VBR Community edition

Hi,I’m experiencing issues with deploying VBR Agent on 2 Domain Joined Workstations using VBR 12.2.0.334 Community Edition.I know that I am on my own here, but maybe someone has a good idea what could cause the problem.When I try to install the client from the VBR console, it fails with the error: 25-09-2024 17:30:10 Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to COMPUTER1 Error: Cannot find package version for component EpAgent package Msi platform X86. I can install the agent manually, but that doesn't help either. VBR can see the computer in the console and get’s the OS edition (Windows 10 Pro 22H2) and IP address.Thanks in advance, Bjorn Dirchsen

Air Gapped copy of configuration backup

We have multiple backup servers and run a configuration backup on them daily. I’m looking for suggestions on how to keep these config backups safe ?I originally had a script that emailed these to a mailbox to keep “air-gapped”, but the size of the file became too large. Perhaps there’s a way of reducing these, but I suspect the size will creep up again making them too big. Currently the config backup for Site A goes to Site B and visa versa, but i want something better. Yes, I could have a scheduled task to copy them elsewhere. Any other thoughts / suggestions. TIA

Veeam Hardened Repo: Firewalld security zones

Disclaimer: This is only provided as a reference. Make sure you understand what you are doing before executing this in your own setup (eg test in a lab). Since this is modifying the firewall, you might lock yourself out remotely if you are executing the steps incorrectly or you have a slightly different setupIf you are running RHEL or any experimental derivative (in my case Rocky 8.8), you can use firewalld to configure the firewall. Firewalld uses zones in which you can allow ports or services based on the incoming interface or IP sources. By default, all the traffic is “allowed” based on the rules in the public zone (or better the interfaces are by default assigned to the public zone). You can test this with# What is the default zonefirewall-cmd --get-default-zone# What are the active zones, by default only the public zonefirewall-cmd --get-active-zones# List all the rules in the public zone, this is by default ssh cockpit and dhcpv6firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-allYou can howeve

How to monitor Synology NAS with Prometheus and Grafana

For ease of administration, I will use Portainer a lightweight Docker Container management solution to administer my Docker environment instead of using the Container Manager on Synology.To proceed with this task, we have to first install the Container Manager on Synology. Launch the Package Center on your Synology NAS, and search for Container Manager. You will have to install it as shown below.Note: When Installed, you can also open it and navigate to the Image tab, select the Prometheus image and click Launch. You will also have to do the same for Grafana. But as I said above, we will be using Portainer as it simplifies Docker management. Next, we will have to create a folder for Portainer. Under the Docker Folder, we will create a directory that will be used to store the configuration and data for Persistent Storage. Here are some guides on how to manage User Permission on Synology with Active Directory [Part 1], and how to configure Synology DS923+ NAS for File Sharing [Part 2].In

GPU Raid cards, and NVMe storage.

I am often tasked with creating storage heavy systems in terms of throughput and I/O.Some of the proprietary video systems create lots of IO and the users require a lot of space. We all know M.2 NVMe drives are perfect for the task, but what happens when you need larger volumes? Software raid or using Storage Spaces is easy, but the performance penalties are not small. Hardware raid performs much better, but what about when you want to take it to the next level? I purchased a GRAID SupremeRAID SR-1001 and a LQD4500 (Honey Badger) to do some testing. The SR-1001 is a GPU accelerated raid card, and the LQD4500 is 8 M.2 drives on a PCIe card. You can see after installing the LQD4500, device manager shows it has added 8 Samsung disks to the 3 I already had in the system. For the first test, I created a 28TB volume using storage spaces with default settings and ran a default test in CrystalDiskMark. Having an idea of the performance you should be expecting can really help you tune thin
