    You create a local backup with Veeam - which of course creates a snap.... and then you do a replication with Veeam from one hypervisor to another? why are you using Veeam to do that instead of the built in hypervisor tools? But that's really beside the point.

    Because VMWare.

    Doing that clearly makes the server run a snap twice (unless it can be run in a single job). and put strain on the VM host while replicating to the remote site.

    Backups run nightly. Not all servers are replicated Replication gives you more restore points throughout the day in addition to the failover capability

    How do you get number 3?

    It creates replication points? That's not how I've ever understood how replication works.

    Veeam 9 offers multiple restore points on replicas -
    https://www.veeam.com/vm-advanced-replication.html
    under failover and failback section.

    Even Hyper-V has this built into replication. You can choose to keep XX number of replication points. Honestly this is not much different than people keeping XX snapshots on the local host for immediate rollback needs.

    you can't pick and choose roll backs, if you pick two snaps ago, you loose the one from one snap ago.

    See above about replication I just posted. I'm using replication like JB in that I'm just using it for convenient backup not true replication for DR failover. JB may be doing it similarly.

    Does that use 12x time disk space of the VM?

    Not at all. It similar to Forward incremental. One big file with delta snaps.

    Cool feature in Veeam.

    Built into every replication system I am aware of.

    Pretty much. It's very standard.

    Interesting - by that same token, good backup software should not allow you to delete and previous portions of a backup as long as any other backup references files contained in said backup.

    i.e. FB - i1 - i2 - i3 - i4

    A good backup package won't let you just delete FB and allow you to keep i4 because i4 would be worthless.

    But in this case i4 isn't worthless. You could completely restore from it. Just not have the old data from FB. So for DR is really nice.

    Yes, you need to use a FQDN, then make sure port forwarding is working correctly πŸ™‚

    He does need the FQDN, but it sounds like he has that ready.

    His problem is that the links the server gives out is not the FQDN.

    That is handled in the config.

    @nadnerB good question - no it hasn't. WebRoot is installed, but there is always that chance something got through.

    I'm just old fashioned that way. And for us IT people, it's fine. we understand that there can be more on the screen that what is shown.

    However, for end users , the scrollbars need to be there by default and let the user turn them off.

    But why is Windows phone failing today? It is because the OS sucks - NO - anyone why uses it with a real open mind will see that it's just as usable any Android or iOS -

    I put it in between. More usable than Android and less usable than iOS. However, for a new entrant into the market, it has to shine, and that it did not, at all. It lacks the open ecosystem that Android uses as the excuse for being functionally problematic and it lacks the tight integration that makes iOS work. It's trying to fill a pointless middle ground that doesn't exist. Then, of course, it botched that middle ground terribly and that's another issue. But even executed well, I don't see it having a purpose, a goal.

    Right, but when you're working with files that large - why bother storing them in a VM - just st.... OK yeah, that goes against the standard practice now.. so we need a VM, even if the whole host is a VM - welp, I guess your stuck with XFS πŸ™‚

    Pretty much. EXT4 is pretty silly for a server of any size, which is why even for desktops RHEL is XFS by default and EXT4 only as an option for advanced users. EXT4's days are pretty much over.

    It uses usb for power, and esata for data.

    Nice.. find, thanks.

    notice it says SSD, not even 2.5 in drives.

    You can buy standard USB enclosures for 2.5" drives and they never need external power.

    when I posted that it I was responding to the title of the sale indicating SSD - so I jumped the gun a bit on the 2.5.. my bad.

    I think if you're used to MS Office - why would you even consider Google Docs - especially once O365 came out. The online versions of Office apps are close enough that most people can muddle their way through. Google docs - lots of differences... not horrible.. but definitely different.

    In either case, the notion of saving a file is weird to say the least compared to old school local drive or network shares.

    Come use cases for this:

    Allowing myself to access my jumpbox from work, without making it available to the whole world.

    MORE common than that would be allowing SSH FROM the Jump box to servers. The servers will often only allow connections from the jump box,.

    I don't care if a company gets bought by another because it is a good product and successful.

    Connectwise, Their main product seems to be getting more and more unhappy users as time goes on. Even on the marketing "MSP" sites. People do not like the product.

    http://www.mspcomparison.com/home/917-psa/34-connectwise-msp.html

    Now when something with such a bad image, buys a product you love, would you not be worried?

    I do not call a few bad reviews a bad image. happy users do not post as many reviews as pissed off users. Also note the timestamps there.

    Now, I will not argue and say they are good, because I do not know that. But i have not seen bad press regarding their services, is all I am saying.

    Ok, so I read that blog post and it is useless for me because I run everything on CentOS and that is not a supported system yet for the automagic scripts.

    But, renewal is still pretty straightforward.

    @iroal and I will most likely be giving you the same advice (from what I've seen so far). I am still monitoring your issue though so one of us will be replying I'm sure.
