Amazon S3 Availability Event: July 20, 2008 – Amazon’s post-mortem on the 7/20 S3 outage. Excerpt: “We’ve now determined that message corruption was the cause of the server-to-server communication problems. More specifically, we found that there were a handful of messages on Sunday morning that had a single bit corrupted such that the message was still intelligible, but the system state information was incorrect.” (Seen first at Ars Technica.)

VMware has released Update 2 for VMware Infrastructure 3 version 3.5 (I think that’s the Full Official Name That Only A Committee Could Love…). Scott Lowe has a good summary; release notes are here. Most notable among the updates is the ability to use VSS to quiesce Windows VMs prior to snapshotting.

File Level Recovery from within a VMDK backup – Nick Triantos of NetApp covers file-level recovery from VMware (Windows) VMDK files again, in more depth than he has before. Nick notes that it can be a “a point-and-click process.”
