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 practice, it does not directly protect against all potential attack scenarios for this specific vulnerability. At this time we are not aware of any other specific attack vectors for this vulnerability,

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 VS Code or Atom, which will potentially run commands defined by that other user. Vulnerability ImpactSince part of Git for Windows’ uninstaller is copied into the current user’s temporary directory and run in that pla

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?

Hey guys,Is Veeam endpoint backup now called agent backup?

I have installed Veeam B&R Community Edition. I have to take backup from x.x.x.6 to x.x.x.10I have successfully created Backup Repository for x.x.x.10Now I am creating Protection Group where in I am adding x.x.x.10 from where I have take backup. As soon as I Test the credentials (Either Local Host / Domain ) in both cases I am receiving the below error. I tried to OFF the Windows Defender but then also no success. Kindly advise

Today, we lose a Veeam Legend!  For those that don’t know, you can’t be a Veeam Legend if you’re employed by Veeam. And that is what we celebrate today! 🥳 @Mildur officially joins Veeam today as a Product Management Analyst.I’m proud to call Mildur a friend (and Detective, Detective Friend?) since first meeting him here on the Community Hub back in 2020. It doesn’t take long to observe the depth of knowledge and passion he has for Veeam products and he shares this freely with the community. Today Veeam have taken on an amazing addition to their family.Congrats Mildur!

Hello Team,  I am working on a project where customer would like to backup their M365 data (mailbox, onedrive, sharepoint etc.) using Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 and also backup Azure VMs using Veeam Backup & Replication.  I see Azure has both these available in the market place. So if I use them and deploy them directly on Azure Subscription it is good enough right? Or should I need any other instance of Veeam Backup and Replication or Veeam Backup for M365 in on-premise infra or Azure VM etc.? Cause I saw this video - Here I see the Veeam is installed else where and we are trying to connect to cloud appliance. So I am confused 

Hi team, I have a new backup I am running that is failing at the first full. It fails and says that it cannot find a VMDK file that is located in an excluded disk. The error reads: “Processing servername Error: File 'X.vmdk' was not found. This disk is a USB attached storage device, but it was added to vmware as an iscsi drive so that we can exclude it in VBR. I have double checked the disk exclusions and confirmed that I have told the job to only back up the correct disks (the disks that aren’t this USB attached storage). I have also checked the checkbox to remove excluded disks from configuration. The file is present in vcenter. I checked. I can’t figure out what is going on and why this job is failing due to a file that should not even matter because I have excluded from the job, the disk the file is located on.

This is more of a processing issue but . . . I have one VBR system that processes some rather large file servers.  We’re going to be setting up Scale Out Repo to Wasabi into an object locking bucket.When Veeam locally merges the latest incremental into a new full, does it push the complete newly created full out to the bucket or is there some magic that happens where Veeam is only updating the current full that’s sitting out in the cloud.  People with small internet pipes want to know.  With a small domain server it’s no big deal to push 20gig but when it’s 25TB…..I’m also going to assume since Veeam is in control of the object locking and retention, I won’t have to figure out when things will be unlocked and the magical merge is going to happen.Thanks ahead of time.
