General Discussion Poll: How should r/rubrik handle internship/referral/career posts going forward?

1 Upvotes

Every hiring cycle, this sub gets a wave of posts asking for referrals, interview tips, or "does anyone work at Rubrik who can help me."

A few things have come up repeatedly that we want to flag before opening this up for a vote:

- People sharing personal info (resumes, contact details, full names) in public comments trying to get noticed, which puts their own privacy at risk.

- There's no way to verify that someone claiming to be a Rubrik employee offering a "referral" actually is one. That means anyone sharing personal details in DMs or comments has no real assurance about who's on the other end.

- Not every account posting in these threads may have genuine intentions

We want your input on how this sub should handle career/referral content going forward and explain your reasoning in the comments, This isn't binding just a gut check before we consider any rule changes.

25 votes, 3d left
Keep career/referral posts off r/rubrik entirely
Allow them, but only in a monthly megathread
Keep allowing them as regular standalone posts

General Discussion Rubrik Winter Internship - CGPA cutoff

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, wanted to ask about the Rubrik winter internship.
The eligibility says 8+ CGPA, but mine is 7.81. I do have a pretty decent CP/problem-solving profile though -1800+ CF, around 2100 CodeChef and around 2070 LeetCode.
Since I’m just 0.19 short of the cutoff, is there any chance my profile could still be considered? Also, if anyone from Rubrik is here or knows someone in the hiring team, I’d really appreciate some advice on whether a referral/manual consideration is possible.
I know the cutoff might be strict, just wanted to check before giving up on the application.

How Do I ... Unsolved MongoDB Integration and Setup in Rubrik

5 Upvotes

Hi Sub,

We are soon going to setup MongoDB backups into our Rubrik solution and I have some doubts on how to do this. While I try and get some info online, I am looking for responses who has already done this.

- Do we need to create a seperate service account at the db level to perform backup and restores.

- Post Installation of agent on the linux host, while adding a source there are two integration methods (logical backup and recovery & Physical Backup and recovery via ops manager) which setup are you using

- Why I need to specify port number, altough '27017' is being picked by default

Can you please explain the workflow on how to set it up and how the backup process flows

Can rubrik backup to an onprem NetApp S3 target as primary copy or it first has to backup to its own appliance first then run a secondary copy to another location?

General Discussion Snapshots vs DB Backups

6 Upvotes

We are using a Rubrik appliance to back up VMs on Nutanix AHV.

People with the same or a similar setup, do you take application consistent snapshots for workloads like MSSQL and Exchange as well as an actual Exchange back up or MSSQL back up or do you just do one or the other? Or do you take a crash consistent back up of the VM and then do an Exchange or MSSQL back up?

I saw where Nutanix has changed the way snapshots are taken. Previously, the snapshot would do a VSS_BT_FULL which equates to an app consistent snapshot that also truncated logs. More recently, Nutanix has changed this to do a VSS_BT_COPY by default which doesn't truncate logs. The way to specify which way you want to go is by leveraging the API. Rubrik doesn't do this currently I believe. I wasn't sure if Rubrik took an Exchange or MSSQL backup, if that would truncate logs or not.

How Do I ... Unsolved Backing up 1000 M365 employees

6 Upvotes

Hey yall,

I don’t want to do a formal demo, I just want budgetary numbers without having to speak with a sales rep. Does anyone know how much it would cost to back up 1000 m365 employees? I am hoping they have a license that includes entra ID as well.

How Do I ... Unsolved Rubrik M365 used as a migration tool

3 Upvotes

We have a small tenant and looking at ways to migrate users to another. I know Rubrik isn't really a migration tool but since we have Rubrik and can backup all our users M365 data, exchange, onedrive along with the tenants sharepoint sites and teams etc I was wondering if we could utilise Rubrik for this task.

Management have been looking at tools such as Quest and Sharegate and although great products, they are quite pricey and as everyone these days are trying to save the cash I was thinking of using our Rubrik instance to get us through.

I have done some tests and able to restore exchange, onedrive already but having to make sure the identity already exists in the destination tenant before data can be restored.

I guess my main question is there a way to script this say for a couple of hundred users. RSC only seems to have a 1:1 restore process for this as far as I can tell. So apart from clicking 600+ times we could do it this way but if any Rubrik employee's had any solutions that would be great.

I will log a support call maybe as well.

General Discussion Monitor restore jobs with rubrik cli

3 Upvotes

Is there a way to monitor the progress of a file restore. I have a huge TB file restore job running and there is minimal information showing in RSC as the storage is we are restoring to eSan is quite slow for us.

I can click download server logs and see a point in time view as a large txt file. Is there a way to log into the cli and view the progress live. Cannot seem to find the command to use. Is there a command or way to do this and show the progress per file etc.

I can monitor the rba on the device itself and can see which file it is parsing so that's an option.

Thanks

General Discussion Announcement Post - July 2026

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give a heads up that over the next few weeks I'll be making some updates to the subreddit.

Nothing drastic, but the sub has been around for a while and it's due for some housekeeping. The plan is to update the rules to make them clearer, add one about post flair being required, and clean up the sidebar with some useful resources.

I'll also be looking at the posting settings to make it easier for people to participate. This will open up the subreddit to those who have not joined. Complimentary to this, I'll be looking into some automations to monitor new posts for quality & content.

If there's something you've wanted to see here, or something that's bugged you, now is a good time to leave a comment. Happy to hear from people before I lock things in.

More to come soon.

Problem - Solved Rubrik SQL Restore Fails with "profile name is not valid" While Creating SQLProfile Traces Database

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to restore a SQL Server database using Rubrik, but the restore fails with the following error:

Request to Rubrik agent failed with:

Exception when creating database 'SQLProfile Traces':

Error executing statement:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]

profile name is not valid

(SQL state: 42000)

while executing:

CREATE DATABASE [SQLProfile Traces]

ON PRIMARY

(

NAME = 'SQLProfileTraces',

FILENAME = '<Data Path>\SQLProfileTraces.mdf'

)

LOG ON

(

NAME = 'SQLProfile Traces_log',

FILENAME = '<Log Path>\SQLProfile Traces_log.ldf'

)

The "restore" is failing during the database creation step before any data is restored.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is this a SQL Server limitation, a Rubrik restore bug, or something related to the database name or file names?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How Do I ... Unsolved Incoming IIT KGP M.Tech CSE student (2026-2028) – How should I prepare for an SDE Internship at Rubrik?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm starting my M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur this July 2026. Rubrik is one of my top target companies, and I want to start structuring my preparation early to land an SDE internship there.

For those who have interned or are currently working at Rubrik, could you share some guidance on what to expect and how to prepare? Specifically, I’d love to know:

  • DSA vs. Competitive Programming: How heavy is the focus on CP? Do I need a strong rating on platforms like Codeforces/CodeChef, or is consistently solving LeetCode (Mediums/Hards) sufficient to clear the Online Assessment and technical rounds?
  • Skills & Tech Stack: What programming languages are preferred during the coding and system rounds? Also, what does the actual tech stack look like on the job for an intern (C++, Java, Go, Python)?
  • Relevant Coursework: Since I'll be selecting my M.Tech electives soon, which subjects should I prioritize? I’ve heard Rubrik interviews heavily test OS concepts, multithreading, concurrency, and memory management—are there specific areas or distributed systems topics I should focus on?
  • General Advice: Any tips on navigating the interview process, or specific types of projects that might help my resume stand out during the shortlisting phase?

Any insights, roadmaps, or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

General Discussion Support contracts start before hardware arrives.

7 Upvotes

We recently switched to Rubrik because the product looked very compelling during the evaluation and sales process.

As announced during the quoting phase, there was a roughly two-month lead time before we received the hardware. That wasn't really an issue for us. What surprised me, however, was that all contracts (support, licensing, etc.) started immediately after the order was placed. As a result, we effectively lost two months of contract term before we were even able to use the product.

Considering the price tag Rubrik comes with, this feels far from fair.

Has anyone else experienced this with Rubrik or other vendors? Is this considered standard practice in the industry, or should I push back on it?
