Single • 4.2.0 The information in the table row applies only to the specified version and
version • 4.0.1 does not include newer versions within the specified branch or newer
branches.
• 4.1.0-p2

Range within • 4.2.0-4.2.3The information in the table row applies to all versions within the specified
a branch • 4.0.1-4.0.5range, inclusive.
• 4.1.0- For example:
p2-4.1.n
• 4.2.0-4.2.3 applies to the following versions: 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and
4.2.3.
• 4.1.0-p2-4.1.n applies to version 4.1.0 patch 2 and all newer version of
the 4.1 branch.

Entire branch • 4.0.0-4.0.nThe information in the table row applies to all versions in the branch that is
• 4.2.0-4.2.nspecified by the first two numbers in the designation.
For example, 4.2.0-4.2.n applies to all versions in the 4.2 branch but does
not apply to later branches, such as 5.0.

Specified • 4.0.0+ The information in the table row applies to the specified version and all
version and • 4.1.3+ newer versions in that branch and in newer branches. When the information
all newer does not apply to all versions in a newer branch, then the range within a

branches
• 5.1.0-5.1.nFor example, "4.1.7+" applies to version 4.1.7 and all versions of 4.1 that
are newer than version 4.1.7, all versions of 4.2, and all versions of 5.0.
In the same example, if release timing excludes the information from
versions 4.2.0-4.2.3 of the 4.2 branch, the designations to show this are:
• 4.1.7-4.1.n
• 4.2.4+

vSphere virtualization environments

vSphere virtualization environments

Specific versions of Rubrik CDM support specific versions and configurations of vCenter Server and ESXi.

Note:
• Support for vCenter Server and ESXi in Rubrik CDM versions 5.n are removed as of July 2022.
• Rubrik recommends that you recover virtual machine snapshots to a destination vCenter Server of the
same or later version than the source vCenter Server. If you recover virtual machine snapshots to a
destination vCenter Server that is an earlier version of the source vCenter Server, the recovery may
fail. The reasons for recovery failure can vary, but in most cases, the recovery fails as the later vCenter
Server versions contain new fields in the virtual machine configuration files that are not present in the
earlier vCenter Server versions.
For example, Rubrik Security Cloud does not support recovery of virtual machine snapshots taken on
source vCenter Server version 6.7 or later to a destination vCenter Server version 6.5.

The following table lists the specific versions of VMware vSphere supported by Rubrik CDM versions for
Snapshot protection.

Blacklisted VMware ESXi versions

Some early versions of VMware ESXi contained errors that caused corruption in the Changed Block
Tracking (CBT) methods provided though the vSphere API.
The Rubrik CDM software logs a message about the problem when a blacklisted version is encountered.
To avoid corruption, CBT can be disabled for the virtual machines on those ESXi hosts or the ESXi software
can be upgraded to a newer version.

Microsoft Entra ID

Rubrik Security Cloud supports backup and recovery of Microsoft Entra ID workloads.
If you have added Microsoft Entra ID as a protected workload to an SLA Domain, you can use the
snapshots from the Microsoft Entra ID directory to recover objects deleted by a user. You can recover
objects such as Sharepoint or Microsoft Teams users and groups.
Even if a user has not deleted users or groups, you can use Microsoft Entra ID to update user or group
attributes. The updates you make are reflected in the subsequent snapshot.
You can use RSC to search snapshots for specific users and groups. After you have recovered information
for a user, you can restore the M365 application data for the user with the snapshots provided by the M365
protected workload on RSC.

Archival locations

Rubrik CDM provides support for data archiving in a variety of locations based on archive types, vendors,
products, and features.
Rubrik clusters that use Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) cannot index ADE-encrypted virtual machines
because Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which Azure Exocompute uses, does not support ADE encryption.

Replication

Replication

Rubrik CDM provides forward and backward replication compatibility between specified versions of Rubrik
CDM.
The format of the partition-file has changed in Rubrik CDM version 6.0. This change affects filesets. If
a Rubrik cluster is upgraded to Rubrik CDM version 6.0, the target replication partners using previous
versions of Rubrik CDM are not supported. If the replication site is replicating filesets, the target clusters
must be upgraded to Rubrik CDM version 6.0 to resume replication.
Replication partnership is supported between Rubrik clusters up to two major versions under active
support earlier or later than the source cluster version.
For example, a Rubrik cluster 8.0.x can replicate to Rubrik CDM versions 6.0, 7.0.n, 8.0.n, 9.0.n, and
10.0.n, reciprocally.

Rubrik CDM Compatibility Notes

Database protection with Rubrik Security Cloud

Information about the various databases that Rubrik Security Cloud protects and their associated
limitations.

Database Description
Azure SQL Databases The process of taking immutable backups of Azure SQL databases has the
following limitations:
• Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC) requires enabling Change Data Capture
(CDC) on Azure SQL databases and tables for taking immutable
backups. Enabling CDC restricts schema changes, such as truncating
tables, renaming columns, and changing primary keys. To work around
this restriction, RSC provides procedures that you can invoke in your
database to disable CDC, perform the schema change, and enable
CDC again.
• RSC takes up to 24 hours to back up a 1 TB database.
• The Azure SQL databases in the basic tier and S0, S1, and S2 standard
service tiers are not eligible for immutable backups because Azure
does not support CDC for databases in these tiers.
• For Azure SQL databases with CDC enabled, the CDC schema is
excluded from the backup and is absent in the recovered database.
This exclusion is not dependent on whether CDC was set up manually
or using RSC.
• RSC does not support immutable backups for Azure SQL databases in
the Elastic pool with a maximum elastic Data Throughput Unit (eDTU)
of less than or equal to 100 or a maximum Virtual Core (vCore) of less
than or equal to 1.
• RSC does not support immutable backups for Azure SQL databases
that have ledger enabled.
• RSC does not support immutable backups for Azure SQL databases
that have encrypted objects.
• RSC does not support immutable backups if CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT
data types have collation settings different from those in the Azure
SQL database.

Amazon Relational Database RSC supports the following Amazon RDS database engines:
Service (RDS)
• MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL
• Oracle and SQL Server
• Amazon Aurora
Amazon RDS protection with RSC has the following limitations:
• RSC supports replication only for policy-based snapshots.
• RSC does not support replication for continuous log backups or RDS
automated backups.
• RSC does not support archival or storage tiering for Amazon RDS
snapshots.
When using the replication feature across AWS accounts or regions,
Rubrik recommends that you coordinate with AWS Support to ensure that

Cloud data protection with Rubrik Security Cloud 06/13/2024 | 113

Rubrik Security Cloud archiving features

Information about the compatibility of Rubrik Security Cloud archiving features with various cloud
workloads and the associated limitations.

Archival feature Description

Support for multiple archival Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC) does not support the multiple archival
locations location feature for the following workloads:
• Azure virtual machines and managed disks
• AWS EC2 instances and EBS volumes
• Google Compute Engine (GCE) instance
• Azure SQL Databases and Managed Instances
• Amazon RDS
• Amazon S3

Rubrik Cloud Vault (RCV) RCV supports archiving the backups of Azure workloads only to the

RSC only supports the RCV backup tier, not the archive tier.
The retention policy for the SLA Domain that uses RCV as the archival
location must have at least 30 days of archival retention. The RCV
Backup tier also has a minimum retention period of 30 days. To prevent
any early deletion fees, RSC ensures that any SLA Domains that are
created meet this requirement.
If you have removed an SLA Domain with RCV as the archival location
after taking the snapshot and need to perform in-place file recovery,
you must configure an Exocompute instance in your Azure tenant to
proceed with the recovery operation.
