New Gadget: Apple Watch SE 2022 44mm

Today I just received my new Apple Watch SE 2022 - 44mm from Apple Store. Ordered online and took 4 days to ship from Singapore to Malaysia.

 Let's do some unboxing.

1st step: Charging first before doing a sync with iPhone.

2nds step: Sync with iPhone & update with the latest firmware 9.0.2

3rd step: Installed Spigen screen protector, tough armor, and Nike Sport Loop Band to protect Apple Watch

4th step: Configure Apple Wallet.

Currently, Malaysia only support 3 banks: Maybank (Credit and debit card), Ambank (credit card), and Standard Chartered (credit card)

Tested working!

5th step: Configure Grab Ewallet

Tested working!

6th step: Configure Bluetooth to pair with my earphone & test watching Youtube on my tiny watch.

7th step: Configure unlock the device with Apple Watch

Tested supported :

a) Mac Mini - M1

b) Macbook Pro

Tested unsupported:

a) Ipad Air 4

b) iPhone SE 2022

Most likely due to these devices using Touch ID. No option to enable unlock with Apple Watch.

How about my accessories? 

Overall love my new gadget. :)

How to Calculate Tape Consumption on Veeam?

 In this post, we will look at how to calculate the tape required on veeam.

Before we proceed, let's understand the tape LTO size

For example LTO9, one tape size should be 18 TB. Always refer to native raw when doing tape calculations. Veeam has compression & dedupe when backup, so when storing data into a tape you should refer to native raw.

Next is using the calculator here:- https://calculator.veeam.com/vbr/

It is the same calculator that we use to calculate the backup repository. We just need to do some tweaks when calculating tape consumption.

• Put source size: 100 TB [our example]
• scope of work - set to 1
• Turn off refs

Example: 7 day, 4 week, 12 month, 3 years

Retention, put

• daily - 7
• weekly -3
• monthly - 1
• yearly - 1

End result

Put into a table and start to divide according to LTO 9. Example for daily - 31/18 = 2 [round up]

The total tape required for 3 years is 82 tapes.

I did a video explaining how I came out with the above tape. Please watch the video below:
