Hey everyone, Tim announced earlier today that his famous RPS (Restore Point Simulator) tool is now deprecated. If this name doesn’t mean anything to you, the URL likely will: https://rps.dewin.me. For years this tool has been a must have for anyone working with data protection. Now Veeam have an official tool (Fun Fact, some RPS code was used/referenced in the official tool so it lives on!). The official tool is available at https://calculator.veeam.com/vbr, it has been available for a little while now but today is the day Tim officially announced the deprecation of the project. As such please remember to use the official tool as part of your sizing efforts moving forwards. And finally, thanks Tim for all the times your tool has helped us out!
Hey Guys,Is it possible to initiate an application item level restore for MySQL backup?
So I had fun the other night. I had an older Synology NAS that was on NFS4.1 that i upgraded to the latest v7 OS. However, 4.1 has been removed and reduced to 4.0 for that architecture (i’ve since seen you can bodge it in cmd line but not going there yet).So I had to remove the NFS datastore from vcenter and remap with NFS3 and re-import the VM’s that were solely running on that storage.So now Veeam see’s the VM’s as new ones but one is a large archive server. Before I try to back that up, and find that it needs to backup the entire 20Tb offsite!! is there a way I can convince Veeam that this VM is the same as the one on it’s database.Or do I not need to as it’s clever enough to realise?
Hello, I achieve a functional configuration for SureBackup custom scripts, already created some of them. But I saw that the only result of the scripts that is presented is a true/false output, that is translated to passed/failed on the report of SureBackup. I like to customize this result, write some custom words on the result instead of only passes/failed. Is there some way to do it? On the .xml configured for the Role I did not found any TAG related to it. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, Quick one here due to time sensitivity. Deadbolt, the ransomware that has previously been utilised to attack QNAP NAS devices, has been used to attack Asustor NAS devices. Looks like there’s an exploit in the EZ Connect system, so advice is currently to disconnect the NAS from the internet and disable this service on the NAS. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/if-you-own-an-asustor-nas-shut-it-down-now The official Reddit mega thread has been pouring through the services that could’ve exploited the NAS whilst Asustor are looking into this. Even Asustor’s live demo page got impacted! (Won’t post a link due to potentially malicious content, it’s in the Reddit thread if anyone is feeling brave/stupid) I’ve been affected, what do I do? Shut down the NAS immediately, this will prevent further ransomware damage.Do not initialise the NAS or you’ll lose your data on your disks.Await further updates from Asustor for the OS remediation steps. At this point you’ll likely need to utili

Morning! This Fun Friday is a bit different, I just wanted to share something that makes me laugh every time it re-emerges.Has anybody heard of a turboencabulator? If not watch the video below before reading on: Back with us? Good! A turboencabulator, or retro encabulator or any other such derivation is a brilliant fictional item with some of the (IMO) best technobabble ever! A fools errand on the other hand is normally a prank to someone, asking an impossible or nonsensical task, my favourite of these is in a pizzaeria, it’s not uncommon to ask the junior to go to the fridge and get the dough repair kit. And then finally we have the in-jokes, those comments that make you laugh because you know it makes no sense. My favourites being either “Write-only memory” or if there’s any “IT Crowd” fans here, the internet! So today, I invite you to share your favourite stories, or pranks, jokes, fictional items, whatever makes you laugh!And as always, happy Friday!
