Procedure to shrink the VBR database?

Hello,a customer has the problem that his VBR server has gotten very slow the last days and since today some agent and plugin jobs are failing (and yes, agent and plugin jobs only are failing, no VM backup jobs...).I had a look at the server and it has hit the 10GB constraint of the the MS SQL express edition for the database size…Is there a procedure to shrink the database? For example to delete the session history or something else?The setting for the History under General Options is  a option how much entries are shown in the console but not how many entries are saved in the db.Any ideas? 🤔

Advanced Cross vCenter Server vMotion - Clone Operation

The Advanced Cross vCenter Server vMotion (XVM) capability was one of the most popular VMware Flings. A lot of customers were anxious to see this capability being an integrated part of vSphere. With the vSphere 7 Update 1c release, the XVM capability is embedded into the vSphere Client!There are two options for this migration “Cross vCenter Server Export” and “The Importing VMs Option“.Cross vCenter Server ExportThe operation is similar to the VMware vSphere storage vMotion.Select Cross vCenter Server export, Next.Input the management IP address of target vCenter Server, username and password, Next.Select the target compute resource, Next.Select the target storage, Next.Select the target folder, Next.Select the target network port group, Next.Select the vMotion priority, Next.Finish to confirm the migration task.The Importing VMs OptionSelecting the option “Import VMs” opens a wizard to walk you through the import process.Connect to the source vCenter Server, Next.Select the import vir

Best route to go for a 65TB+ backup

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?

Read-Only Mondays

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.

Are you going to VeeamON? (some controversy)

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!!

[SEC-CVSS:3.1 9.8 / 8.5] Remote Procedure Call Runtime Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2022-26809

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,

Experience with XFS

Because of the new v11-feature of immutable backups on XFS filesystem, I am looking for real-world experiences with XFS as Repository.I just read through this forum entry:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/v10-xfs-all-there-is-to-know-t65222-30.htmland the closing experience of user ferrus:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/v10-xfs-all-there-is-to-know-t65222-30.html#p388579 Sounds very good to me so far. I can remember first implementations of ReFS Block Cloning. Lets say, it does not work that fine at the beginning.Would you share some of your experiences with XFS as Veeam Repository? I would be interested in:stability  performance (over time) needs for troubleshooting administrative effortThanks!
