If concerns persist regarding Log4j, it is recommended to delete all Log4j-related files from the BDRShield components' installation directory. This article provides steps to remove Log4j files from the installation directory of various BDRShield components.

1. `<installation_location>/bin/3rdpartylibs/org.apache.logging.log4j-1.2.17.jar`

2. `<installation_location>/bin/3rdpartylibs/log4j-1.2.17.jar`

Removing these Log4j-related files does not impact backup or recovery operations.

To simplify the process, a utility has been developed by BDRShield that identifies and removes the Log4j vulnerability. Follow the steps below:

Note: Ensure all backups are idle when executing the utility, as it will restart BDRShield services, potentially interrupting ongoing backup or restore processes.

1. Download `vembubdrsuitebugfix.exe` from the [official link](https://s3.amazonaws.com/vembu-bug-fi...).

2. Copy `vembubdrsuitebugfix.exe` to the machine where BDRShield or any of its components are installed.

3. Execute `vembubdrsuitebugfix.exe` by double-clicking it.

4. A wizard will appear; click "Install" to continue.

5. The utility will automatically detect and remove the vulnerable files. Once completed, click "Finish" to close the wizard.

By following these steps, Log4j-related files will be successfully removed from the BDRShield installation directory, mitigating potential vulnerabilities.
