@op's question:
So now what do you do? If I drop completely to Linux - something like this would become a rather annoying event. As someone that has five iPads (in use), four iPods and two iPhones, that could get damn right perturbing.

Stop using Apple products would be my answer. Though you seem to be in too deep already.

That doesn't make sense though - Scott is a HUGE apple fan, and he's on Linux now too.

I tend to agree with Scott's comment earlier, if this is a problem, borrow a friends computer.

So - take @scottalanmiller and the fact that he is now over seas - how practical is borrowing a friends computer?

I can borrow my daughter's.

If an encrypted laptop was stolen loaded with patient data, you could still be in the same HIPAA predicament depending on the judge and expert witness.

I am under the impression that OCR considers FDE as a non offense.

I mean, the breach happened, but there would be no penalty as the data is potentially inaccessible.

most internal storage for my money (but cheap comes first)

This is usually my last concern. Because almost all Android tablets take MicroSD cards. Tablets are so cheap and become "outdated" so quickly. Especially tablets for under $100.

Fair enough - I'm using it as essentially a cheap laptop substitute to transfer data from uSD cards to bulk storage via USB OTG

If this is a project for you... and the uSD card is in an Anrdoid device, check out Xplore File Manager. You can share a folder from your PC and copy it over WiFi using that app. May be slower, but will be less of a hassle than having to shuffle SD cards around.

Edit: Name Correction, link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Good idea actually! Unfortunately the uSD are in a cheap video camera

Ah... Camera SD -> Tablet -> USB OTG?

Well I found something else which might work too...

Which while not preventing theft, could be used...

@pchiodo said in Hyper-V Guest - Unidentified Network:

The solution to removing them and re-establishing the vSwitch and VM Adapters was to remove the Hyper-V Role and then reinstall the role.
Specifically the following steps:

Where you using a Full server install that you added the role to? or are you actually able to remove the Hyper-V role from Hyper-V server 2012 (or whatever version you were on?)

He has Server 2012 R2 Datacenter installed on all their physical boxes.

yeah... that whole thing from this morning should be in this thread.

That is why I told them a long time ago that they have to lock a damned thread prior to forking. that way no new posts can go in it until they are done.

@krisleslie I understood. No problem.

Anyway found a fix/solution.

Logged into the server and downloaded the images I wanted into the images folder. Then on the page I edited the source code and changed what it enters

<img width="200" height="50" alt="wynnstay.png" src="http://ostickets/helpdesk/file.php?key=yicwxqo3dmnjhclxirdzgrpxljt7rrqu&expires=1485388800&signature=0cd9c75022866fe708bac4a35557e6b5e8b95ee4">

to

<img src="/helpdesk/images/xxxxxxxx.png> etc and that works.

Not sure why it trying to add images with that code lol

@FATeknollogee said in ZeroTier on XenServer 7.0 host:

Thanks @Francesco-Provino thats why I rely on the experts!

You're welcome!

Now I know I'm an "expert" in something :D.

Considering the solution - I have been thinking for several days that perhaps this issue stemmed from a problem with the disk on the original system. It might be slightly damaged - somehow not enough to prevent it from booting, but enough to cause the seen issues in the clonezilla image.

If I cared, I could run chkdsk /r on the system a few times, then take a clonezilla image again, and then try restoring that.

meh.

@syko24 said in Cabling and firecode:

@Dashrender - I think low voltage is one of those things that a lot of installers cut corners on because most people aren't going to check their work above the ceilings or down the walls. The client typically just cares that the jacks work and that's it.

Are you implying that the client will check other things? Like power wires, etc? I highly doubt it.

No but cabling and recabling is sometimes done after buildout of an office. No inspector checking the work.

They might manage a rolling update system for forever, but there will easily be a technology change that comes along that makes that not possible.

I agree - like Apple switching to the Intel processors.

Right, what if the future is on ARM. Unlikely, but it could happen.

Not as unlikely as you might think. MS has announced Windows on ARM, and it's suppose to ship 4th quarter 2017 or 1st 2018. MS already has emulators for x64 (I have to assume x86 too) that they claim run at near full speed.

If/when ARM over take x64 processors (assuming that's not already the case), I don't see why that change won't happen. Then it will be a question of how long MS supports both?

Being ON ARM isn't the issue, being ONLY on ARM, is. They already have an ARM version.

but they didn't have an emulator that allowed you run most if not all apps that can currently run on x64 Windows 10.

Are they going to EMULATE on ARM64 in the future?

I meant to ask if they plan on using ARM64 chips and emulating AMD64 processes on top of them. It seems like a crazy process. I'd expect insane overhead.

That crazy overhead is what was expected - but apparently, the current emulators are doing a really good job - I said before that it was near full speed - I need to go back and confirm that, but the reports at the time were definitely positive about the testing so far.

Not long ago it was in "fanciful far off dreams" land: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/85365/thinking-x86-emulation-arm

@BRRABill said in Backups - how much does backup performance matter to you?:

All a function of time and need and money.

Only time and money, need in a business is always a function of money.

I mean all of them combine.

You are correct.

Need dictates the other two.

Well, the other two dictate need. Businesses aren't a "need" based thing. They have a goal: profits. Backup restore time is a discussion about time. So the technical piece gives us the time axis and that we are talking about a business gives us a cost one. That's it. The idea of "need" should never really come up in a business, businesses never need to do anything. They desire profits and all actions should reflect that. The concept of needs only serves to confuse people from the singular mission.

Unfortunately I have to get the offsite completed (and at 4.5TB) and about half way through I still have a ways to go....

I might have to make separate backup jobs to run against these VM's while the initial upload is going.

Kind of sucks.... but it has to happen....

The reality is that us Windows Admins need to stop avoiding it. 😞

sigh agreed... but I protest...

Hey, getting me to use the Linux CLI is a step forward,.. I know (a few of) the commands now,.. while I just may no recall the context. I was able to find the mount that was at 100% usage yesterday using df -h... so that is a move forward..

Oh good grief, and to think we didn't vote those jokers out... not that the other lot would be doing any better.
The ongoing cost of that is going to be comparable to the buy back of BHP.

What a potential Fuster Cluck

Could be worse, trust us 😉

Lol, I'll take your word for it.

It's the most important task you do with Backup Exec 😉 LOL
