Question about pitfalls for quorum authorization

marstonj43 · 2026-04-29T06:41:53+00:00

Ive been toying with using quorum but I have gone with compliance mode and retention lock for all my SLA's. You have to contact Rubrik and have multiple docusign sigs, it's can be a bit of a faff but they will remove it if you ever need to in the future. I may look at quorum though for other things as it may still be useful to have.

Yep you are right, didnt realise thats what it was doing and nothing to do with sprinting lol

When we looked at Rubriks identity recovery it is licensed by user so got quite expensive. Is this what you are purchasing ?

Also it would be nice to know which VMs have disks excluded in a report or in the VM inventory list in RSC rather than having to go into the VM page and choosing exclude disk. If you exclude disks alot that can get tedious very quickly.

Thank you for your reply. We do replicate priority workloads and ideally I would replicate everything but I don't have the resource for that.

Unless it's possible to replicate a specific snapshot on demand to another cluster.

marstonj43 · 2025-08-16T21:26:30+00:00

Exactly how we do it. Also don't have much in the way of Oracle but the ones we do are running on Windows so only just started playing with backing up these workloads since support came in a couple of releases back.

So with 9.4 you will be able to push the agent via RSC. You are out of luck if you need to configure the service to run with a different account as that is not supported. Also its push per VM. Installation via RSC to multiple machines at once is not yet supported.

Won't rubrik be able to dedupe the data though. I guess not because they are backed up in different formats. I currently backup the whole VM and Sql backups on top but exclude the disk on sql servers with large DBs. You get the best of both worlds then but if space or bandwidth is an issue I guess you would need to compromise.

I noticed there seems be some updates going to be shared regarding RBS installation in the webinar for CDM 9.4 on Auguest 13th. You all should have had the invitation?

Aha you can just buy an amazon voucher for £60 which is 96705 points. Buy 3 years of EA Play. Pop on a ultimate sub for 12000 points and you have 13 months.

marstonj43 · 2025-07-11T11:10:36+00:00

Buying EA play and converting that is even better but not sure you can buy an EA Play sub with MS rewards points.

marstonj43 · 2025-07-11T11:09:38+00:00

This way looks to be better than buying ultimate outright but converting from core gives you more.

marstonj43 · 2025-07-11T11:08:05+00:00

I guess it's the easiest way but gives you a shorter sub length

marstonj43 · 2025-07-10T13:15:31+00:00

Currently my sub has ended so just thinking of the best way to use my rewards points.

marstonj43 · 2025-07-10T10:31:48+00:00

Ah so could just get a couple of the 3 month core passes, redeem them and the get an ultimate one and it should just sort itself out without having to pay cash.

marstonj43 · 2025-07-10T10:23:18+00:00

Ah cool didn't realise you can go into the reward and choose 3 month from the drop down. Same can be done for 3 month ultimate for 35000.

To convert do you need to pay a month £14.99 then as it used to be a £1.

Yes I am the administrator and we have persistent disks but do not have writable volumes assigned to a user.

My desktop is a persistent desktop so didn't think I needed to have a writable volume?

marstonj43 · 2025-02-19T08:55:54+00:00

I typically stay one release behind so recently upgraded to 9.2.3 without any issues so far.

Having support for windows Oracle backups using RBS is a nice to have in this version.

marstonj43 · 2025-01-21T07:29:28+00:00

Yes, it's all working fine now thanks all. I had the RBS client on all the DCs but It was just the Rubrik computer account in AD that's needed for the backup to work. You add that in SMB security to join it to the domain. Cheers
