Power log Search

Hi all, I’ve been using an app called “ripgrep” for a while now and wanted to share it with the community. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep“ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern.”ripgrep is written in Rust which is “blazingly fast” for this type of operation. I found this article very interesting on the subject of benchmarking https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/Finding the specific file or files where something occurred can be tricky, but ripgrep makes it easy with a simple regex pattern.rg "^.*?\b13.02.2023\b.*?\bError\b.*?$"It provides each instance that matches the expression under the file's name. It also allows you to use flags to alter the output; the most useful I’ve found are the -A, -B and -C flags. -A Provides a number of lines before the match-B Provides a number of lines after the match-C Provide a number of lines before and after the matchMany other flags can be used, including a flag that recursive

Data Protection Considerations: Digesting the SQL ConstantCare Report

For those of you who don’t spend much time or have much experience with SQL Server, Brent Ozar is a well-known and respected Microsoft SQL consultant. In addition to consultancy and training services, Brent Ozar offers tools such as the First Responder Kit, and a SQL Server monitoring service called SQL ConstantCare.SQL ConstantCare is a paid for monitoring service, designed to provide a daily report of what’s going on within your SQL Server platform, collecting data and notifying you if it sees genuine room for improvement, when things are good, it stays quiet.It’s the content of these alerts that I want to discuss today. Brent Ozar did a blog post recently discussing the alerts that most people muted, and I found it really interesting to see the elements of data protection in there. So, let’s take a look: SQL ConstantCare – Sample Size and Quality of Samples Some background information on this data set that Brent Ozar has worked with firstly to provide context.

Data Flow in Veeam B&R

Hi all, I'm using Veeam B&R v11 and I have 1 Repository (HPE StoreOne) and 1 Tape (HPE MSL 3040). When data is transferred to StoreOne, the process is as follows: Source data -> Backup Proxy Server -> Backup Gateway -> HPE StoreOne.I am confused about how the data is transferred to Tape. From source or from StoreOne? Thanks/Tunglh

OneDrive backup timeout

Hello,  Wondering if anyone knows how to get around this, Iv moved the veeam software to another host and done a clean setup trying to do the first backup of OneDrive it just keeps timing out. The console gives the error “failed to process all objects”.    Is there a setting or timeout limit I need to be adjusting somewhere? It seems to run for different amounts of time before timing out which is throwing me off. Is there a better way to do this?    Thanks in advance.

AMD EPYC ‘Rome’ Processors Can Crash after Nearly 3 Years Uptime

Hi everyone, I thought this was a good conversation point I wanted to share, as the more I thought about it, the more my thoughts on the subject changed. AMD have released an errata listing that details how their AMD EPYC Rome (7xx2) processors can, under specific conditions, crash. I’ve included the statement in its entirety below:I’m conflicted on this, my initial reaction was “wow they won’t fix this?!”, then I thought, well I guess it would involve a new stepping, and the chips were released in 2018, that’s not too unreasonable.The security conscious part of me thought, oh boy who isn’t patching their servers in nearly 3 years, but even that thought then pivoted to consider that actually with some of the live/hot patching options now available, OS-level patching is becoming less tied to a reboot. Then there’s the use-cases whereby these servers are isolated and patching become less-mission critical. But it’s safe to say any of these systems aren’t getting firmware updates in any ca

Release licence for users in Veeam backup for Microsoft Office 365

I’d backed up some data for a group of users during a mail migration. The job is complete so I’ve deleted it all to free up the licenses for another job. Unfortunately I believe that I’ve done things in the wrong order. The repository has been deleted and now I can’t get “Remove-VBOLicensedUser”. For every user it outputs:“Remove-VBOLicensedUser : The process cannot access the file '\\10.1.1.1\office365backups\BackupName\Repository.xml' because it is being used by another process” The repository listed is nothing to do with these users and it’s not in user by any process that I can see - certainly openfiles is blank. Any idea how to proceed?

Software ... no Softwares :)

Folks, I don’t want to sound like an old grumpy grand pa but.. Software is a mass noun so you don’t make a plural form out of it. I just bet and won $20 that there is no such thing as Softwares :) . Now that does not mean that language does not evolve over time, but so far that is still the case. https://www.grammarflex.com/posts/whats-the-plural-of-software

Veeam Recovery Media - Will not restore .vbk

Hello,I am experimenting with VBAR11 in a home lab. The backed-up data itself is not important.Boot into recovery mode via usb key. On the usb key is a .vbk file, no .vbm Use bare metal recovery option, veaam is not able to find the .vbk, if I manually select the .vbk, veeam complains about corrupted .vbm file.So it seems that recovery agent, must have a valid .vbm. but in a disaster recovery situation and the .vbm is corrupt, how do i restore?I do know that VBAR itself, can import .vbk without .vbm, so cannot recovery agent do that same?Second question, using the the recovery boot agent, how do i mount the .vbk?Thanks,Dave

Fast Clone Savings: Call for community testing

Hi all, Recently I started experimenting with XFS savings calculation. I’ve seen some good work from the community and therefor I want to say, thanks for all people that played with xfs_bmap, filefrag, and especially mweissen13 with some good idea’s on how to find the overlapping intervalsI’m sharing here what I believe is a working implementation:https://github.com/tdewin/ttozz/tree/main/sortedfragmentsSo first of all, I’ve split up the work in 2 parts:Creating frag files: these files are basically filefrag output but reordered on volume level offset. This is required to find the overlapping intervals (shared blocks). Notice that filefrag order the fragments on file level offset. You can cat the files if you are curious. They are basically in YAML format because you should be able to easily parse them with libraries or just pure stream reading line per line. Analyzing the frag files: open the files and read them in ordered fashion. If two files report a similar intervals (starting blo
