@zachary715 said in Shrink VMDK - VMware:

Option 2 would be to migrate the VM to a different datastore with dissimilar block size and specify "Thin Provision" when moving. If you have or can create a datastore with a block size different than your current config, then you can do this without downtime.

Funny you mention that. I had forgotten about that method until this morning. I ended up using that method on the server (after creating a datastore using NFS share on a Synology appliance), using it strictly as a backup for a couple days to make sure things are good. I'll likely not use the conversion in the future; though they both took around the same amount of time to complete, the conversion was such a pain.

limit of gmail relay sending at all.

Hi @dbeato, thanks! No, definitely not. I've not configured relay through gmail. I'm also not hitting a limit in my smtp.domain1.com and smtp.domain2.com as we are using both in our present Zimbra install.

Free, but not sure about open source... LibreOffice Draw works well. Inkscape is worth checking out; typically a vector graphics tool, but also has some PDF editing capabilities.

I've used Foxit PhantomPDF across a few clients, and have had some issues with the driver just randomly experiencing issues when trying to print to PDF or to a printer. So, just a heads up. But their price is very attractive. As @JaredBusch also pointed out, PDf Element is a good alternative at a slightly lower cost than Foxit PhantomPDF (roughly $30).

@scottalanmiller that's exactly I was trying to point out. Storage for the camera footage is important not just in terms of available space. There may be a case where the OP would need to directly access his recordings in case of emergency to provide them to the authorities when the host is no longer available (stolen) or damaged. Having them stored on a separate NAS inside a shared folder would certainly make the above job easier. Having said that, this can also be done by simply backing up the video files elsewhere or syncing them offsite.

Have you checked the logs to see what Snap activity there has been? Any idea when these first appeared?

@jaredbusch said in VPN and Exchange:

@bbigford you are totally overthinking this.

They obviously have on site Exhange. That will require some kind of DNS entry for OWA and OA to work.

They chose to use exchange.domain.com, this is perfectly normal.

They only have a single IP, or only have their router configured to use a single IP. This is also very common.

Then someone wants to use a VPN. They enable it in the firewall, or whatever device, and just use the existing FQDN that resolves to the site IP.

This is also perfectly normal and 100% ok.

Could they have added a CNAME, such as vpn.domain.com? Sure, but there is no technical reason to do so.

I don't think they have web services, but if they were to, those wouldn't be able to use 443 I'm guessing since that port is already forwarded. I am definitely overthinking that one.

L2TP VPN does not need port 443.

I've tried the built in, I still cannot find anything that compares to BitTitan Migration Wizard. The cost is about $10-15/user but totally worth it.

, in an elevated command prompt you run this.
MOFCOMP %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.

Interesting, that was the issue you were having last week right?

Nope. Different client.

That location is a firewall issue.

Doesn't look bad. What kind of RAM utilization does it have?

I just manually looked for events 7001 and 7002. got the job done.

I've moved to deploying on Fedora now myself, as well.

@dbeato said in Synology NAS - Can't delete:

As an aside question, do you have it that it recycles the storage after certain time with Synology to Synology backuP?

What do you mean recycles? It's not doing an offsite move-delete if that's what you mean, it's copying it in case either building is lost. Maybe I don't understand the question.

So when I setup the backup between Synology devices, I make sure that after a certain time/age the backup device deletes the older snapshots/backups.

Ah, got it. What are you using for backup software that you'd rather your backup software not delete it? Also, are you using Synology CLI for that? I don't know that I've noticed that option in the GUI as part of the task creation.

I have a few crypto rigs that I could use some of these for 🙂

How long does it take you to pay for the difference of drive with voltage savings. I think that is a myth especially considering how unprofitable mining has become.

If you're worried about the cost of electricity in your mining rig, you need to quit or upgrade it.

Well crap, I never added pictures to step 2.
I will try to get to that later this afternoon.

@scottalanmiller said in UrBackup and FreeNAS Jurassic Park Effect:

Does UrBackup have a process for writing to tape as well?

No, it is wholly disk based and additionally leverages advanced file system features (such as snapshots, reflinks, compression) when available.

So if we wanted to have cloud storage, we'd run a UrBackup server hosted then, rather than a local one and pointing to something like S3?

+1 to an auto response like Tim_G said. At least that would inform senders about the issue.

Very nice. I've already finished with these laptops though so likely won't revisit this.

I believe if PowerShell is your method, you will not be able to do what you are trying to achieve. The only way now is to use the one that has just been advised.

@jaredbusch Thank you
