@NerdyDad Don't worry about it. Everyone helps me all of the time.

Necropost!

Scott - do we know that MS takes backups? and where is the page stating as such (no I haven't looked myself).

@scottalanmiller said in Backup of Office 365 Sharepoint sites:

It is very important to remember that you have outsourced your hosting as well as your reliability and backups. Nothing wrong with taking your own backups, just keep in mind that they are already taking backups and your backups are a third party backup above and beyond the normal backups and a degree of backup that you would never consider (normally) doing if you were not hosted. The desire to take your own backups is generally an emotional one and not one based on actual, statistical risk.

So you're saying that you can call up MS and say - hey I need you to restore all my ODfB account to yesterday because i got hit by Cryptowall - and they will do it?

Doesn't that tool give you version rollback built in?

This is no different than any other file sync service.

That you get a means of recovery is great, but that does not mean it is a backup.

Well what's worse, it's likely that the only files that get history version are ones on MS's supported list. I need to find that list of file types.

That is correct for Onedrive. ODfB does version all files, I think.

If I have time tonight I will have to play with that.

I know it works on ODfB for things like text files. Not sure about every file, like JPGs and stuff. ISOs, whatever.

Not that far into the system yet. I'm looking to move over from SW, but haven't rolled this out for production use.

Way to flip it back on them.

Did you drop an imaginary mike afterwards?

Knowing Scott, he did. Just in his own way.

Knowing Scott he probably had a real one in his pocket, which he pulled out, then dropped.

Staying up to date on the updates is pretty critical for XO. They update things frequently. You'll be running this update script a lot.

Can you give me an estimate in number of hours to build a linux box and configure that package?

I don't know anything about the OCR piece. But time to build a box is normally about five minutes for me. The script, maybe ten to fifteen. The real issues will be time to download the ISO for them and questions about their environment. The Linux and cron pieces are essentially zero effort items. All of the factors that might create effort are the parts we don't know about.

Hello, real world calling.

Time to build a box != 5 minutes ever. Time for you to spin up a VM from a template and configure the basics, I would accept.

Even assuming that the latest CentOS 7 release ISO was on his client's infrastructure and ready to attach, it would take more time than that to configure the new VM, boot, install, reboot, update, and configure.

That's why it matters as to the environment. I can build a VM locally, and ship it digitally all ready to go based on ready to go templates. Just need to run the latest updates (two minutes normally) and apply the IP address and hostname. Then time to transfer the file is not in the five minutes, but doesn't take labour time, either.

@IRJ said in WordPress 4.7.1 Customizer Cannot Save:

4.7.1 is not the latest. 4.7.2 is the latest. WP 4.7.1 has some serious security flaws and an immediate update is highly recommended.

It was a typo, actually was on 4.7.2.

@BRRABill said in Crashplan Pro Issue:

@JaredBusch said

OMFG how can you even say that you are not sure a restore is related? Seriously?

Do you know files can't be restored? Maybe there is a way to do it outside the normal ways. Who knows? I have not officially asked about that.

/blink

Umm, if the backup repository is unavailable for backup, how in the hell would it be available for a restore?

vi is a killer, one wrong key press and anything might happen.

Vim is as precise as a scalpel, don't blame it :D.

Disclaimer: I'm a vi-lover/addicted.

vi doesn't kill files, admins kill files.

I had the same ERR while updating on both systems. But since the update script will default to run from the source, it didn't effect anything.

All I have to run is ./xo-update.sh

@Grey Gotta catch me first. And I got cat-like reflexes! *turns and runs straight into a wall*

Well, he could be trying to do a poor mans MPLS / transparent VPN thing..

You can do this if you really know your routing well.

@dafyre I was wondering about what they were storing 2TB on to charge $25k alright

it's 4 times larger KB than allowed for images, not to mention the dimensions.

Hopefully, ultimately it won't matter and you'll simply be able to reinstall XS on a new USB stick and find your SR and recreate your VMs.

@fuznutz04 Gotcha... I though windows 10 had this tool still.... hrm, will have to check later.

Anyways will one of these work?

Windows 10 removed SO much stuff.

I'm guessing analytics showed it wasn't being used enough to warrant maintaining it.
