      @scottalanmiller said in Need suggestion for local Windows backup: But the "older" Windows 7 Backup that takes an image works quite well, too. Depends on your goals really. Yeah, it tends to work so well that over the long run, you're screwed unless you do some custom upkeep.

If we open the only other VM, ESXi can't work. So that tool, I'd expect, couldn't actually run. Oh you can run it from any where, as long as you can ping the ESXi or reach it. but i prefer a VM cause its faster I see. That was a problem for us because we couldn't transfer off of the server, their network wasn't fast enough

      @pmoncho said in How do you get your departments to quantify what they actually need for their jobs: Your more than welcome to dive into https://issurvivor.com/ and search his archives His only mention of MSP is from Nov, 2000 when he discovered the term. And he talks about ASPs as well. I had started my first of both, over a hear before he heard the terms https://issurvivor.com/2000/11/20/trend-overload-first-appeared-in-infoworld/ It really was a new term at the time. But he acts like the concept was new. It was very tried and true in the 1990s. It's an ancient article, just funny that in late 2000 he was thinking that MSPs were some hot, new thing, lol.

      @FATeknollogee said in UNMS backup question: @JaredBusch said in UNMS backup question: If you want to restore an individual unit, that process is already built into the system so what are you trying to get exported? I'm just asking for info purposes in case of a future restore. You can download a specific device backup from within UNMS. When you do so, it asks you if you want one for restoring to the same system or a different system (because of the UNMS key negotiation).

      That resource library is really light on content. How did StarWind Virtual SAN solve their manual backup problem? "High performance and data high availability (HA) were not the only benefits for the company, meaning StarWind support t hat continues to solve the problems with ease." Is having to contact support for problems with the VSAN another benefit? It might as well say: Problem: Company needs to make a stew. Solution: Company bought a pot.

      @StorageNinja said in Veeam with NetApp?: Netapp E-Series is the same as the old Dell MD36xxx or the LSI enginio code base (IBM also sold a similar low-end modular array). These things were wicked fast/cost-effective at streaming workloads (got used for Lustre clusters a lot as the DAS on the nodes). Dell's abandoned reselling them for Seagate (Dothill) but they still around Not wicked fast compared to building your own. And the staggering lack of internal support if anything goes wrong is a big deal... storage is one of those things you want to have work, especially at these price ranges. Having been a NetApp customer, I know that their support is helpless when it comes to trying to do high performance, their crap just falls over and so do their engineers.

      Worth noting on this that while sync works, copy is the much safer option. So rclone copy source:/path dest:/path is what I'll likely end up using. In any case, the resulting solution still works. Still need to tweak OSX a bit as it seems to kill the SSH session after some time for sporadic reasons - still testing but I may end up having to add ServerAliveInterval 120 to /etc/ssh/ssh_config to resolve that issue.

      @IRJ said in Duplicati Retention Policy, which do YOU choose?: @JasGot said in Duplicati Retention Policy, which do YOU choose?: The options are: Keep all backups Delete Backups older than Keep a Specific number of backups Smart backup retention Custom Which do you use and why? I am interested in your choice and why you choose it. Generally NO longer than legally required. Unless the legal requirement is something really lax. You generally dont want to keep data for longer than 7 years in any circumstance where there is no legal requirement, because you can become legally obligated to share data in a court case or something of that sort. Exactly. Desired retention is more like 6 months. Only legal requirements make us go longer.
