In this exclusive audio interview Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ talks with playwright Oliver Mayer about the World Premiere of his new play "Yerma in The Desert" at Greenway Court Theatre and Urban Theatre Movement November 17th through December 16th in Los Angeles, CA. The play is inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca's play "Yerma" but gives the story a contemporary spin addressing current issues of immigration, racism, sexual identity and gender inequality. Set in an elite university "Yerma in The Desert" focuses on the lives of custodial and public safety staff who clean up the mess and tell no tales in a Trumpian dystopia where personal grudges lead to deportation and worse. Mayer tackles big themes in the shifting relations between men and women at work and in the bedroom and with "Yerma In The Desert", co-directed by Marlene Forte and Edgar Landa, they fuse with Lorca to speak loudly towards liberating us all from political constraints and cultural extremism. Oliver who is a fierce ally and married to the talented Latina actress Marlene Forte might not be gay but he holds our LGBTQ community close to his heart and close to home as his mother has been with her partner for over 20 years. We talked to Mayer about his new play "Yerma in The Desert" and his spin on our LGBTQ issues.
Oliver Mayer is the author of nearly 30 plays. In the 1990's he ignited a firestorm with his controversial play "Blade to the Heat" about a 1950's nobody-turned-championship boxer forced to confront his own sexuality after a dethroned champion accuses him of being gay. The sequel "Members Only" will be opening in 2018. Mayer is an Associate Professor with tenure and Associate Dean of Strategic Initiatives at the USC School of Dramatic Arts and has won several awards including the Associates Award for Excellence in Teaching. He is also a member of The Temblors, an LA writer's collective. "Yerma in The Desert" is made possible through the support of the Greenway Residency Program and Greenway Court Theatre, programs of Greenway Arts Alliance.
Interesting interview with a very insightful playwright.....Oliver investigates topics that I've thought about many times...hope I'll get to see his play sometime.


I am using Zmail with a Unix Vax as the mail server and my mail files are stored there.
And I haven't touched U:/u0/lbaum/abe.mail.  Why does Zmail think these files are modified?
Is there anyway to suppress this question and just have files expunged and saved automatically?
None of the profile options affect this behavior.
treat such automatic header reformatting as a modification.

Selfies and Facebook hotties overwhelmed the imagination of students in the technology class. Those who knew how to use technology had no motivation to learn something new. Perhaps they did not know of the possible avenues. Those who did wish to learn found that technology did not necessarily function well to this end.
The fans rotated slowly back and forth offering a breath of fresh air to first one, then another student. The computers had no respite from the heat though the windows and doors were flung wide open into the cool evening air. The girls had no escape from the screens of the guys whose imaginations wandered far from the classroom or from the playful teasing of much older men. Most everyone in the room suffered from a single height for all tables, monitors and benches. And the benches had no backs, so most shoulders were slouched forward in the way that restricts blood flow to the brain.
Nevertheless, several students found inspiration from the research and writing project assigned to them by the whiteboard in preparation for next week's exams. Rejecting the allure of Facebook, they navigated past the network problems and connection issues to find information about these things through the use of search engines. Their assignment was to write about networks and connections. Did they even know how to use them?
Some did. Unplugging and re plugging various computer parts to create a working module, a few had the courage to explore. Others waited for the professional help of their instructor to get the computer working for their research. The report was to be handwritten and submitted for grading. It would be useful for helping the students self assess their readiness for exams.
Did they know what possibilities would open to them through their use of technology? The world was at their fingertips, but they didn't know how to look for it. Like most classrooms, the curriculum was restricted to epistemological facts while the experience limited the potential applications of the promising environment.

As Neil Armstrong, the First Man to set foot on the moon, Ryan Gosling has the challenging task of playing a character whose life depends upon staying focused and unemotional. He is like Keir Dullea calmly repeating "open the pod bay doors" to HAL the rebellious computer in Stanley Kubrick's 2001. The word "wooden" springs to mind—but but Kubrick picked his star for that calmness and certainty, and director Damien Chazelle chose Gosling for the same reason. We first meet Armstrong as a test pilot whose X-15 jet gets in serious trouble. "You're bouncing off the atmosphere," ground control explains. The pilot doesn't even break a sweat. What makes this film special, is getting to meet Armstrong as a family man and father concerned with the fate of his cancer-stricken daughter. We also catch glimpses of the media strings being pulled and the back-up plans for probable failure from the Nixon White House. In today's climate of toxicity, the film has been crucified for not taking time to show Armstrong planting the American Flag in the lunar landscape. Phwwtttt. Why not talk about the bravery the filmmaker displays in the final images they selected to show the audience? Now that is something.

After marrying an older, semi-successful Parisian publisher, a creative and talented provincial woman named Colette is convinced to move to the big city and ghost-write novels for her spouse under his name (because "female writers don't sell"). When her books become successful, Colette begins to chafe at her husband's patriarchal assumptions and decides to "wear the pants in her family." Keira Knightly is great as the sensual, proto-feminist, sexually fluid writer who turns literary and social conventions on their head, and the film joyously breaks the Masterpiece Theater conventions for turn-of-the century storylines. Colette is best known for her novella Gigi which spawned the stage play and movie about a young girl being trained to be a courtesan to wealthy older men, and the Claudine quartet telling the tale of a naive French country girl's experiences in a boarding school run by seductive female teachers.

Four "3-pieces of Toast" films this week
After Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), is widowed by her husband's death in an auto accident, the suburban mother's "friends" turn their backs on her and her son. So she seeks out the town's patrician mystery woman, Emily (Blake Lively), to set up a play date with each others' sons. Married to a handsome novelist (Henry Golding), the martini-sipping Emily appears to be everything that Stephanie is not until the fateful day when asks for A Simple Favor, she leaves her son at Stephanie's house, then doesn't return to pick him up. Within a short time, Stephanie becomes a grown up Nancy Drew sleuthing her way around local cul-de-sacs and traffic circles to discover what happened to her friend.
Glenn Close shine shines as The Wife
Because of the time difference from Sweden, North American winners of Nobel Prizes receive their phone call just before dawn. So when the phone rings at 5 a.m. on a particular morning, the novelist and his wife may act surprised about him winning the Nobel Literature Prize, but in reality, they expected it. He has always been the one in the spotlight, and the Prize's effect on his ego is all-encompassing. In contrast, her talents and identity have been overshadowed by her husband's successes. A biographer follows the couple to Sweden, and his questions prompt flashbacks that reveal how the relationship began, how secrets were developed, and how the Nobel Ceremony will bring simmering feelings front and center. Glenn Close's masterful performance in Bjorn Runge's The Wife makes everything work as conflicting emotions roil through her body and are reflected in her face and voice.

British rom-com Juliet, Naked is sweet, low-key
In Jesse Peretz's Juliet, Naked, Annie's film professor husband is obsessed with the online blog he writes about an American singer/songwriter who disappeared after the release of his 1993 album, Juliet. When a bootleg tape of the musician's concert appears, Annie writes a very critical review of the singer. Her husband is not amused, and things come to a head when the singer visits his pregnant daughter in Annie's coastal English village. It seems he wasn't missing—just living in his ex wife's garage. Everything is low key in this British rom-com, which is just the way it should be.

No new movies worth paying to see this week
Director Peter Berg and actor/producer Mark Wahlberg have teamed up again for another heroic "based-on-a-true-story" tale of survival against impossible odds. Only this time, there is no "true-story" to confine them, so Mile 22 can be quick and easy with minor things like the laws of motion and other pesky facts. The film makers overuse choreographed POV shots, surveillance footage and drone camera perspectives which gets in the way of telling the basic story about: "driving someone to the airport." The "someone" supposedly knows the location of a stash of highly radioactive explosive labelled "fear-powder," and since the actor playing this guy (Iko Uwais) is a master of the deadly Indonesian martial art called "silat," you kind of know what will happen next. Having Uwais perform his moves while handcuffed, just adds to the "Gee Whiz" feel.

Spike Lee's BlackkKlansman is a must-see
Spike Lee opens and closes BlackkKlansman with brilliant set pieces. The first involves screening the famous camera-crane, dolly-shot from Gone With the Wind where the screen ends up being filled with thousands of dead and dying Confederate soldiers. Then the clip stops, and a white supremacist (Alec Baldwin) steps to the podium with a diatribe about miscegenation and mongrelization. The final scene involves the reminiscences of a Civil Rights leader (Harry Belafonte) about the Klan showing D.W. Griffith's silent film, Birth of a Nation (aka The Clansman), and juxtaposed images of anti-racism activist Heather Heyer being run over and killed by a driver at the Charlottesville white supremacist rally. In between, the movie is ostensibly the "based on a true story" of Ron Stallworth, Colorado's first African American policeman and how he ended up infiltrating the local branch of the Ku Klux Klan. The whole thing is punctuated by Terrance Blanchard's music which adds a Mod Squad vibe to the 1970's-era scenes. Lee's tendency to "soap-box" issues through a megaphone gets in the way on occasion, but I have to remember that most of the viewing audience isn't old enough to remember the 1970's, and may need this grab-you-by-the shirt perspective.
Elsie Fisher in Eight Grade is a "take your kids with you" must-see
Writer/director Bo Burnham shoots his movie, Eighth Grade, from the POV of a student named Kayla (Elsie Fisher), and creates a "must-see" film in the process. Kayla and her junior high classmates are trying to find their way through the last week of being "kids" before the unavoidable transition to the "Young Adult" status of High School. Like many youngsters, Kayla chronicles her thoughts, realities and aspirations via YouTube and reveals a cute, wannabe older and wiser individual who would somehow be better able coping with the realities of living day-to-day. This coping includes the garbled attempts at "communication," with her single dad, trying not to giggle or cry during "active shooter drills" at school, trying to disappear in her auditorium seat when she garners the "Most Quiet" award from her classmates, and displaying her less-than-perfect body at an end of the year pool party. We grown up's immediately see that every kid at the party is "less-than-perfect," but we are supposedly adult enough to not consider ourself "unworthy" in comparison. This brilliant, slice-of-life uncovers the fact that although Kayla may not appreciate it right now, most of the people she encounters have her best interests in mind, and many of these people display genuine kindness. Wow! What a concept! Note: Because of "coarse language and some sexual material," the powers that be have arbitrarily given this film an "R" rating which theoretically removes it from being seen by middle schoolers. Ignore this, take your kids, and if it makes them feel more comfortable, sit in different parts of the theater.

John Doe decision 'good news' for Walker
July 16, 2015 By WRN Contributor
Charles Franklin
A state Supreme Court ruling that put an end to a secret John Doe investigation surrounding Governor Scott Walker is "good news" for the Republican presidential hopeful. That assessment from Marquette University Law School political scientist Charles Franklin.
The high court on Thursday ruled 4-2 that Walker's campaign and conservative groups did nothing illegal when the coordinate efforts during the 2012 recall elections. Prosecutors had been operating under the argument that those efforts were illegal, but the court held a position that the type of advocacy done by the groups did not violate campaign finance laws.
Franklin said having the issue resolved "takes it off the table" as Walker's presidential campaign gets moving, while also allowing him to say the issue has been settled after a full investigation by the courts. Had the court ruled the other way, Franklin said, it would have opened another round of legal proceedings, which could have forced Walker to continue answering questions as he tries to build his national profile.
Franklin noted the court's ruling is also a victory for outside groups, who raise and spend large amounts of money for issue advocacy. He said it means they no longer have to worry about communicating with campaigns and running afoul of state campaign finance laws.

Here is one phenomenal woman that I just recently met at a business blast off conference. Her name is Jen Thoden and she is a serial entrepreneur.
She has built a success business where she did have employees and was able to sell that business about 5 years ago. Today she has started a second business which is just now beginning its fourth year. This new company is called Your Color Style. She is a Color Style Strategist.
Her first company was Single Sewing Projects. This first company started on her learning something new in the sewing world. She launched an eBook on a sewing subject on something she didn't know much anything about. This was on Roman Shades. When she was writing her eBook that was when she learned how to do it and actually created one herself.
This just goes to show you that you can get started by also being a novice and being open to learn as a student.
Her current company, Your Color Style, is for women to create the best color systems to match who they are now. Currently she is thinking outside of the box. She has created a certification program within her company so other women can teach the material and gain a profit.
She is even about to launch an affiliate program so that her faithful clients can also earn a profit from something that is already established.
If you want to learn from a woman who has been through it all then this is a woman you will want to pay very close attention to.
If you want to learn more about Your Color Style's certification program or even the program itself as a potential client then go to her website at www.yourcolorstyle.com.
The host, Kevin A Dunlap, is an Entrepreneur Strategist. He is personally committed to helping people start and grow their businesses to new and higher levels of success. He has a coaching program where he will discover where you are in your business structure. Then he create a plan to take it to the next level. Even if the next level is just to start.

'All About Presentations' by Jazz Factory: How to cut down excess words from your speech?
How to cut down excess words from your speech?
We all know we should not be verbose. We should be able to say 'more' using 'less' words. But what if you are by nature verbose? I am actually a person who tends to speak more. I use more words in my day to day conversations (at times I repeat myself as well :-). I write so much in my diary that I need many diaries in one year. Luckily I am not verbose with my slides because I know that doesn't work.
If you are verbose by nature and you are giving a speech, you will always end up speaking more. That's your nature and its tough to change yourself overnight. When you speak more, you will speak many not-so-important stuff.
How can you then cut down the number of words you use in your speech?
There is one technique I know of and its simple. The trick is to condition yourself over time. Force yourself to use less words. Example, If you use a big size notebook or diary, buy a smaller size diary. Something very small like size A6 (around 6 inch by 4 inch).
I tried this technique on myself with successful results (so far). My new green notebook is so small that I hardly have any space to write (I was earlier using those large stylish notebooks). When I now take notes in a meeting or write notes to myself on some topic, I am forced to cut down words to a bare minimum. Thus I end up writing what matters and chop off the not so important stuff. Once your verbosity in writing goes down, your verbosity in speech will also reduce.
What technique would you like to use to cut down words from your speech?
I think one alternative idea can be Non verbal communication, like instead of chopping off the 'not so important' stuffs we can explain it non verbaly.
Interesting. Can you elaborate on this a bit?
like, explaining some points with the help of body language & visual effects..
I am still not clear on what are things which body language can explain better? Visual effects, yes but body language?


Detective Danny Reagan chases down bad guys on Blue Bloods, but you may not be able to catch up to a bad problem that you should have anticipated and might have avoided.
The best position in which to manage an issue is from the front, not the rear. If you are chasing an issue, chances are you won't catch up before you go over the cliff.
This is a painful lesson that some organizations learn the hard way. For some, it takes more than one mistake to learn that it is smart to anticipate problems and take steps before problems become crises.
Easier said than done, to be sure. But it can be done.
Chipotle is a poster child for the point. The company ballyhooed fresh food from local sources. You don't have to be rocket scientist to anticipate potential problems in food safety that could – and apparently did – lead to serious health outbreaks at more than one of the burrito chain's outlets.
Jack in the Box learned its lesson from a 1993 E. coli outbreak that killed four children, infected 732 people and left 178 victims permanently injured with kidney and brain damage. The fast food chain, which owns the Qdoba Mexican Eats franchise that is a Chipotle competitor, installed food safety measures up and down its supply chain. Jack in the Box hasn't experienced a major problem with food safety since then.
Qdoba promises "food for people who love food," which isn't as enticing as food made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Company execs decided a weaker tagline was better than sicker customers.
Issue management is not reserved just for customer-facing problems. It applies equally to issues with neighbors, constituents, stakeholders and employees.
The Southeast Portland glassmakers that used cadmium and arsenic in their processes could easily have anticipated air contamination, regardless of whether they were operating within the boundaries of their air permits. While the businesses showed good judgment by suspending the use of those chemicals once data emerged that there was a problem, they would have displayed greater judgment by insisting on regular independent testing so they could detect the problem earlier.
Some problems are obvious; some are not. That's why we advise organizations to undertake issue audits. An issue audit is a no-holds-barred process to identify and vet all kinds of potential problems – legal, financial, technical, operational, environmental and competitive. The list of problems then should undergo an evaluation to determine the most probable risks and the ones with the most serious potential consequences.
That is invaluable, if sometimes inconvenient information.
The matrix of problems should be assessed by a risk/benefit test. The risk with the highest likelihood of serious consequence is where you start. If you determine, the cost to remediate the problem is far cheaper than the outfall of a crisis involving the problem, then it is a no-brainer decision to fix it. That's a great way to get ahead of a problem.
Some problems may be too expensive or technically challenging to fix. You have to employ different tactics to stay ahead of their curve toward crisis. That might involve an open house or creation of an advisory committee. It could require meeting with affected people one-on-one. Such tactics take time, but it could be time better spent than facing a battery of TV cameras and angry questions.
In an era when everyone with a smartphone is the equivalent of an investigative reporter and social media moves at light speed, getting in front of an issue is more important than ever. Detective Danny Reagan may catch the bad guy on every episode of Blue Bloods, but don't count on the same script when you are chasing a really bad problem that you should have anticipated and might have avoided.


Vertex Alliance partner's will be presenting at this years UKOUG conference, don't miss out.

Q: Drawing line from point to automatically fitted linear regression Hi I have the following code which produces the regression
straight based on the points on the table. I suppose the
red dots on the curve are the equivalent of each point but
on the fitted straight. I would like a way to change the
squares to circles and draw a line from each point the the
square (that will be a circle) automatically if possible.
Thank you very much in advance.
Any advice on how to do better post will also be much appreciated.

The man they call Torment is all sleek muscle and restrained power. Whether it's in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when a soft touch is required and when to launch a full on assault. He always knows just how far he can push, and he's about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined.
This is a great book. I give this book a 5 star rating, it is very well written. It kept me on the edge of my seat at all times wondering what was going to happen next. It was very hard to put the book down. The details in the book very very good.
The fact that Makayla fell in love with Torment before she even knew who he really was is awesome. She fell for him and not his money. I love that when she found out who he really is she took time to make sure that she was falling for him for the right reasons. It made me cry when Max was in the hospital and Makayla was pouring her heart out to him telling him all about her childhood while he was in a coma and staying with him for hours at a time waiting for him to wake up.
There is a lot to the book and people will really be able to relate with the feelings in the book such as love, happiness, friendship and sadness. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

QuiBids opens QuiBids Store to Canada
Posted by Matt Carney under Press Releases
Oklahoma City, OK — February 28, 2013 — QuiBids.com, the world's leading entertainment retail auction, introduces the QuiBids Store in the Canadian market. QuiBids Store made its debut last November in the United States and has since expanded its services.
"We're ecstatic to offer the QuiBids Store in the Canadian market," said Kerry Morris, QuiBids' Vice President of Business Development and Merchandising. "We knew launching the Store would put us on a more competitive field with retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and eBay. However, we've kept a unique aspect to our traditional e-commerce side that still separates us from the rest."
QuiBids Store creates a unique proposition for customers that complements the fast-moving auction format QuiBids launched with in 2009. At the Store, customers can purchase from QuiBids' selection of products at competitive retail pricing, but with a twist: each product includes a specific amount of Voucher Bids that can be used in QuiBids auctions. The amount of Voucher Bids varies per product, though it typically increases with the product's value.
QuiBids continues to expand its entertainment shopping industry beyond what it planned upon launch. Since its inception, QuiBids has sought to offer customers more traditional e-commerce services in addition to its exciting auction format. "QuiBids Store is a big, decisive step toward that," said Morris. "And the Store's success in the U.S. has enabled us to expand it internationally."
QuiBids has come a long way since rebranding as an entertainment retail auction back in 2011 and offering competitive bidding on popular products. It has grown to be the largest online bidding site of its kind, employing more than 140 people in its Oklahoma City office.
"The positive feedback we received from the U.S. market made it an easy decision to offer it in an additional market," said Morris. "We expect the QuiBids Store to perform well in Canada and welcome as much feedback from our customers as possible."
About QuiBids:
QuiBids launched in October of 2009 and has expanded with its improved internet auction model. QuiBids live auctions are more exciting, reliable and safer than other online auction websites. It's the most fun way to get what you want online. QuiBids is a Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited business.

Q: "was I to have" vs "were I to have" vs "if I had" When writing an answer to another question as opposed to commenting (since I lacked in reputation), I was about to write

was I to have enough reputation

when I decided it was incorrect and replaced it with

were I to have enough reputation

but then doubted myself again, wondering if perhaps

If I had enough reputation

or

If I were to have enough reputation

were correct. Can someone shed some light on which one (or ones) of these are correct in this scenario and how they differ? Many thanks!

A: Your second sentence is the correct one because you are expressing an "impossibility," loosely speaking. IOW, you would have given an answer IF you had been allowed to do so, but you weren't--so you didn't!
The subjunctive mood (or mode) has fallen on hard times in recent years, but I think its use is still valuable in making clear the distinction between something which is in the realm of impossibility ("If wishes were horses, [then] beggars would ride") and something which is not ("If I was ready back then [which I was], then I'm even more ready now").
You can complicate (unnecessarily) your option two by adding a few words to it:

If I were to have had enough reputation . . .,

which has you looking back in time instead of to the future, which "were I to have" communicates.
The same goes for your option number four, with the addition of the word had after the word have.
Option number four, by the way, is "correct" only when the wished-for action is yet future, not in the past.
I suppose option number one could be "correct" in a very rare situation, as when a person uses the words to ask a question about whether he was or was not allowed to do something:

Was I to have enough reputation in order to participate [or to have participated] in said activity?

The same applies to option three, if you expand it and frame it as a question:

You mean to tell me, if I had enough reputation I would have been able to participate?


On any given day, a typical faculty member may find themselves interacting with hundreds of students and dozens of professional colleagues while trying to prepare for classes, work on their scholarship, and help address pressing campus issues. While our lives are structured by the natural rhythms of the semester and the academic year, every day brings unexpected twists and turns. Balancing the demands of our work with those of our personal lives can be challenging. The Center offers a variety of workshops and informational sessions as well as mini-retreats and individual consultations to assist faculty in this important and often overlooked arena.
The Office of Faculty Affairs has compiled a Handbook bringing together in one place all of the university policies and practices pertaining to work-life balance.
Few of us have had much formal training in financial planning. But decisions we make throughout our careers can have a significant impact on our financial circumstances. With the generous support of an American Council on Education (ACE) /Sloan Foundation award, we have developed a series of Financial Literacy modules (videos and PDFs), to help acquaint you with some of the key concepts and resources in this area.
With the generous support of an ACE-Sloan Faculty Career Flexibility award, SJSU compiled the Family Matters web-site, designed to help members of the university community locate resources and information pertaining to a variety of "family" topics.


We are having a situation here that needs your help.
We are trying to restore a file from our file server, which is the D: drive on a virtual machine called FileServer running Windows 2003 in vSphere 4.1 environment. FileServer has 2 drives: C (OS - 50GB) and D(Data -1.2TB).
However, when performing File-Level Restore (Windows) from Veeam B&R v5.0, and follow the wizard, we can not see the D: drive in Browser Window, only C: is there.
Please advice if we are doing anything wrong or any other method to restore the FileServer.
And help would be highly appreciated.
It's surely a dynamic disk, they are supported but not using FLR, you will need to use other restore methods.
Yes, FLR from dynamic disks is not supported as per Release Notes. If this is the case, please use "Other OS" wizard to perform a FLR from this disk.
Thanks for the quick responses, however i have checked the disks and they are all Basic.
Is it possibly GPT disk then? FLR from those is only supported in B&R v6 or later.
Yes guys, it is a GPT disk.
However i tried to Instant VM Recovery that FileServer (which has a 1TB drive) to recover a file and always got the Mount Failed error. Why? Is it because the drive that holds the Veeam backup is low on space?
For any technical issues it's always better to contact support directly, as explained when you click New Topic. However, I would assume that you have no VMkernel interface configured on your host and connection to vPower NFS server cannot be established (typical for mount errors).
Thanks you very much people. I might have to contact support directly.
I've got to restore some users mail. No problem just do it as I have done before. Except this time when i select the backup (below) and the backup mounts i don't see all drives.
I've checked and the size of the backup matches the size of the drives in use and there are no drive exclusions in the job. It appears the "C" drive is showing as D and the "C" is a system partition. I'm missing the 3 other discs with my mail stores on.
Anyone seen this ? Without looking to maybe restore the whole VM just to get the machine mounted i'm hoping i'm having a Friday afternoon brain fade.
I've started a restore of other guest files and it can see the drives . That's good news at least i know they are there, however i can't explore these using Exchange explorer.
Lee, I bet you are not using the latest Veeam B&R version. Please see above regarding the missing disks. As for the deranged drive letters, it is also a known issue (mentioned in the release notes) for versions prior to v6.5 where Backup Browser could show different drive letters than in the actual VM as they were auto-assigned in the sequential order. With v6.5, actual drive letters are pulled directly from the OS settings. Thanks!
I have the same issue. When looking at the logs, all windows disks are being backed up. They are all basic disks. When I open the Guest Files (Windows) restore wizard, only the C drive shows up. If I select (Other OS), I am able to restore from the D:\ (or whatever other drive there is). I am on 6.5 with the latest patch. If I use the Enterprise manager web interface for One-Click, I am able to select files from the D:\ drive to restore, but the actual restore fails with the error "Error: No matching paths found."
As I said, it all works perfectly when I do the Other OS option.
If all these disks are basic with no extra configuration, then please open a support ticket with our technical team to investigate this issue further. Thanks!
I just now had a case where I needed to restore a single file from the E: (second out of two VMDKs) of a Windows 2008r2 VM which is reverse incrementally backed up using Veeam B&R 6.5.0.144. But just as previous posts in this thread mentions, the FLR for "Guest files (Windows)" only showed C:, even though both disks are backed up for sure.
After finding this thread I tried the "Guest files (other OS)", and was successfully able to restore the file, thank god. But the E: should definately show in the Windows FLR dialog, as I see it.
Please see the following screenshot to see what the E: disk looks like. It's a regular basic one.
I should also mention that I have two backup repositories, and on one of them the backups were created from scratch using the aforementioned Veeam B&R version, so it shouldn't be a case of the backups having been created in a pre-6.5 version or such, as the FLR dialog is missing E: for both backup repositories.
Given the screenshot below, is it expected that E: isn't listed?

I would say no and suggest contacting support for closer investigation.

I have always thought that the Sony Ericsson Xperia 2 will be an Android OS machine but Sony Ericsson's US website has posted the specifications of the phone!
I am not sure if there will be an Xperia 2 which runs on Android OS, but I sure was looking forward to it. Another disappointing things about it is that Windows Mobile 7 is just round the corner, can't they just wait a little while more?
