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.

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.

Urrrrr.....................😕

a major thing on my #ToDoList

@ScaleLegion said in St. Louis folks...:

Not exactly a Legion event, but we'll be at O'Fallon Brewery this evening from 6-9:30 with Barracuda. Feel free to stop in for a brew or two and learn a bit. I'll be talking community with attendees on the sidelines.

Tesla has donated two cars for test driving, although you would be a passenger along with a weekend Tesla giveaway!

Thank you,
Scale Legion

St Louis is holding their SpiceCorp tonight in south St Louis county or I would be all over this.

@Dashrender said in Deploying Veeam Endpoint Backup on Windows with PDQ Deploy:

I'm not sure where else to mention this, but Chocolately would be another deployment method to consider.

Yes, no native package, though. So we need to make one for it. That would be my personally preferred method, of course.

Oh this is another cool feature that was added recently.

Change Log 2.1.18 Image Mounting, browsing and archival.

@scottalanmiller are you going to argue it's not needed, though?

🙂

Well I don't plan to use it 😉

LOL.

No, never had a postgresql requirement but thought it might be useful for someone here

A really nice thing about XO is you can import and not power on.

So you can remove the NIC and then power on. If it works, you know you're in good shape.

@FATeknollogee said in XenServer backup: XenToolBox:

@scottalanmiller I have zero experience with XTB & that's what prompted my initial question.

That's worth something. I'm just wondering what we should be looking for. What's the proposed value. Without knowing that, it's easy to overlook during testing.

So I found a quirk, not sure if it's an actual bug. For incremental backups to work you have to use the NFS syntax (BACKUP_URL="nfs://<server>"). If you mount the share, and then write to the local mount it won't do incremental.

I shared this with my parent company and they did an evaluation, but found that its not really useful for them. Initial feedback was " the application supports files only - no other objects (list items, etc.)"

Anyone checked this already and is this the case?

@fuznutz04 said in Xen Orchestra SMB Remote problem:

So circling back to this, I was determined to add an SMB remote backup share. Instead of adding a remote SMB backup share through XO, I just mounted the SMB share through Ubuntu where XO is installed. In this case, I mounted to /Backups. Then setup a "local" remote in XO that points to /Backups. Backups are now running and being stored on a remote computer.

Awesome.

@FATeknollogee said in XenServer: Backup & Replication:

I assumed we "are" talking about 7.0?

Yes, it works on XS7.

@DustinB3403 was running into the same issues I was on 6.5.

There is dicsussion that some other process is changing it back, but we have not started to troubleshoot that. (I no longer have any XS6.5 boxes here.)

@mlnews Nice!

Beta 1 has been working great!
