Hi, everyone! We have a single VM that is over 65TB in size, that we are backing up. We have run into a snag. VMware maxes out at 65TB, so we are running out of space on this backup and we don’t know what route to go in terms of setup. Is SOBR the preferred backup infrastructure for a VM of this size?

when i try to the restore of the snapshot, getting the following exception. cause:cause:- cause:cause:cause:message: context deadline exceededfunction: kasten.io/k10/kio/poll.waitWithBackoffWithRetriesHelperlinenumber: 95message: Context done while pollingfields:- name: durationvalue: 1m0.006821018sfunction: kasten.io/k10/kio/poll.waitWithBackoffWithRetrieslinenumber: 65message: Timeout while pollingfields:- name: k8sTypevalue: statefulset- name: k8sNamevalue: adsadminfunction: kasten.io/k10/kio/exec/phases/phase.deleteStatefulSetPVCslinenumber: 1035message: Failed to delete associated PVCs- cause:when we try to restore the shapshot, getting the follcause:cause:message: context deadline exceededfunction: kasten.io/k10/kio/poll.waitWithBackoffWithRetriesHelperlinenumber: 95message: Context done while poll

Hi everybody!I would like to share will all of you a little story,For almost a year, we were doing this "none written" rule, and it's being adopted by the whole department:"READ-ONLY MONDAYS"Tired of deploying things and changing production things on Mondays, tired after the weekend, and many people coming back to the office with tons of issues, after working from home on Fridays, we took this decision so we were able to fix and take care of the "after the weekend" issues, not adding extra failure points to the day.Now we are thinking of improving this rule to Mondays and Fridays!What do you think?Do you have any "none written" rules you would like to share?Many thanks.

Hey all, help me create sop for how to take my on-primies backup to aws s3 and restore aws s3 to ec2. 

Hi Folks, VeeamON 2022 is coming up fast. Recently a video was put out that caused quite a stir. Veeam’s marketing department let a notorious Anti-Swagger slip through into one of their promotional videos for VeeamON. The repercussions have been quite serious and the upper hierarchy at Veeam are even discussing a ballistic Paddle Board swag response. He is second to last in the video . VeeamON is never dull!!

Hi guy update April 2022 for fix RPC vulCVE-2022-26809 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - Remote Procedure Call Runtime Remote Code Execution VulnerabilityHow could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a specially crafted RPC call to an RPC host. This could result in remote code execution on the server side with the same permissions as the RPC service.Why did Microsoft remove the Mitigation to “Block TCP port 445 at the enterprise perimeter firewall”?The researcher who submitted the vulnerability used SMB as the attack vector to trigger the exploit in the RPC service, so the mitigation was effective for the issue that was presented to us. Although blocking ports 139 and 445 [smb] at the perimeter firewall is a recommended pr

Tape consumes 87% less energy and produces 87% less CO2 than equivalent amounts of HDD storage. When analyzed over the total product lifecycle from procurement of raw materials to production to distribution to usage and finally disposal, tape produces 95% less CO2 than HDD and produces 80% less e-waste. https://datastorage-na.fujifilm.com/sustainability/

The LTO Program Technology Provider Companies (TPCs), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, IBM Corporation and Quantum Corporation, today released their annual tape media shipment report, detailing year-over-year shipments through the fourth quarter of 2021. The report reveals 148 Exabytes1 (EB) of total tape capacity (compressed) shipped in 2021, marking an impressive record year for the LTO Program. With a growth rate of 40%, this strong performance in shipments continues following the previous record-breaking 110 EB capacity shipped in 2019 and 105 EB of capacity shipped in 2020 (during the pandemic). https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220419005174/en/LTO-Tape-Capacity-Shipments-Reach-New-Record-In-2021

Hi Folks, This is a short but informative course on API security. API’s are everywhere from Enterprise Manager to Kasten so good to have an understanding about them. There are some other free courses there too more in the security dept.  https://academy.wehackpurple.com/collections?category=free-courses

Git has released a new verson to address some security vulnerabilities, As reported, we are aware that GitHub is affected. But there is a need to upgrade your local installation of Git, especifially when you are using Git on Windows or on multi-user machines. All credit goes to to 俞晨东, and the fix was authored by Johannes Schindelin. CVE-2022-24765As stated in this article, this vulnerability affects multi-user machines, Git users might find themselves unexpectedly in a Git worktree, e.g. when another user created a repository in C:\.git, in a mounted network drive or in a scratch space. Merely having a Git-aware prompt that runs git status (or git diff) and navigate to a directory that is supposedly not a Git worktree, or open such a directory in an editor or IDE such as V

Today’s post is heavily influenced by @Geoff Burke’s awesome post around weather forecasts in the terminal.For those who missed it, check out Geoff’s post here:Today I ask, what’s your favourite use of ASCII? For me it’s the Star Wars ASCII movie:http://www.asciimation.co.nz It’s not the full movie, but it’s still approx 20 mins long which is an amazing amount of effort to recreate! Well worth the watch!

Hi,  I have one VBR Server 11 wherein I have created the SOBR having capacity tier of azure blob.  While creating SOBR I have defined move policy with 0 days.  My retention policy is 7 days with 1 full and 6 incremental.  My requirement is to move the data onto azure blob automatically as soon as it reaches to performance tier.  In my case data is not offloading to azure blob and veeam is taking its default counter of every 4 hours with 0bytes of data offloaded to azure. Can anybody help? Regards,Sunny 

Hi,I want to know:-Does Veeam Backup and Recovery software V.11 support backup and recovery of IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS 5.1.1.0)?Regards

Hello, 3 days ago I upgraded Veeam Backup & Replication from 11 to 11a (11.0.1.1261).Since then in the notifications in case of Warning I’m not getting the Details anymore.Actually I know the details of the warnings because they are “historical” and I can still see them in the console, but why they are not written in the e-mails anymore? (see example picture attached, the last column is empty even in case of Warning)Thanks for your help.

i have some backups that are failing   

Customer is running backups of their VM’s at PROD site to at SOBR and running a backup copy for that job to their DR site (also to a SOBR).   They want to replicate some key VMs to their DR site as well and was hoping to seed those replicas from a the backup copy at the DR site.  Apparently seeding replicas from a backup (or backup copy) on a SOBR is not supported.   Trying to understand why not and how to work around this other than going back to non-SOBR backup repositories?  

We attempted a disaster recovery test for servers backed up at Wasabi and 7 of our 8 servers recovered just fine.  We have a decent sized file server (2.4 TB) that won't restore from the capacity tier storage.  It gets to the same point each time and fails.  We have a support ticket and have attempted some fixes and no luck.  We would like to clear out both the performance and capacity tier of this one server so that it can create a new full backup at performance and then send the new backup to wasabi.  What is the optimal way to clear this out?  Just select this server from that object storage and select delete from disk on that server?  Or should I create a new job with this one VM and run it?
