Today, I will talk about two Commvault capabilities for MS SQL backup that are unjustly overlooked: granular recovery and the Commvault plugin for SQL Management Studio. I will not cover the basics of setup. This post is more for those who already know how to install the agent, set schedules, policies, and so on. I have previously discussed how Commvault works and what it is capable of […]
In previous posts, we shared instructions for setting up backups and replication based on Veeam. Today, we would like to discuss backups using Commvault. There will be no instructions, but we will share what our clients are already backing up. Storage systems for backups based on Commvault in the OST-2 data center. How does it work?

Splunk is one of the most recognizable commercial products for log collection and analysis. Even now, when sales in Russia are no longer made, it is no reason not to write how-to guides on this product. The task: to collect system logs from Docker nodes in Splunk without changing the host machine's configuration. I would like to start with the official approach, which looks a bit strange […]

Hello Habr. In recent years, various cities in Russia have started to pay more attention to bicycle infrastructure. The process is, of course, slow and somewhat "creaky" — cars park on bike paths, bike paths often cannot withstand the winter with salt and wear out, and not everywhere can these bike paths be physically placed. Overall, there are problems, but it is encouraging that at least […]
Despite the fact that the new WPA3 standard has not yet been fully implemented, security flaws in this protocol allow attackers to crack Wi-Fi passwords. The Wi-Fi Protected Access III (WPA3) protocol was introduced in an attempt to eliminate the technical shortcomings of the WPA2 protocol, which had long been considered insecure and vulnerable to KRACK attacks (Key Reinstallation Attack). Although WPA3 relies on more […]
Extended support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 — the last supported version from the XP family — ended on April 9, 2019. Thus, products based on Windows NT 5.1 have completely left the market after more than 17.5 years of operation. The era of this operating system has come to an end. Consequently, Windows XP became the "longest-lasting" version of Windows on the market. Its record may […]
Hello, Habr! We have a new important topic — the quality development of IT products. We often discuss at HighLoad++ how to make load-bearing services fast, and at Frontend Conf — a great user interface that doesn’t lag. We regularly have topics on testing, and DevOpsConf talks about integrating different processes, including testing. But when it comes to defining quality as a whole and how to work on it comprehensively — we have not addressed that. We will correct this at QualityConf — we will develop […]
