What account the sql account or the azure login?!

I have Amazon Prime so I get unlimited photo storage through that (including raw image files).

@jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability.

So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it.

For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

@jaredbusch said in Backup server - Software layout:

I use teams, even if there is only one NIC in the team most of the time, because I can add and remove NICs without impacting the higher layers.

Good idea. This server I just got has the onboard GB NICs, but also 2 dual port Intel GB NICs as well. I could create a BIG team if I wanted.

@oksana Is there a way of pointing Starwind VTL to a private cloud provider instead of Microsoft blob, Azure AWS, or Backblaze?

It's not that easy. What API is that private provider using?

Then how would they point to it? It's like asking "can I use a thing"? I don't know, depends what that thing is.

@dustinb3403 said in Evaluating OneDrive for Business to replace traditional end point backup:

At approximately $12/user you get 1TB/user

Yeah but you also get Exchange and a full Office Suite.

And I can’t tell you because I can’t install the motherfucking thing.

@fuznutz04 said in Backup server comparison:

@black3dynamite Ah yes, SLAT. Almost forgot about that. I ran into that trying to install HV 2016 on a REALLY old box for testing. I could install it, but that's where the story ended.

If I get the E5620 or higher in the Xeon family, I think I should be fine. I know for sure that the E5620 works. I have them in my R710.

The same thing happened to me. So it made my decision to use KVM even easier for what I was using the server for.

Scott likes to talk like everyone uses state systems when that is far from the case.

Scott likes to talk like everyone should use state systems, which is nearly always the case.

But even if you don't, if you have automated rebuild and install scripts, or use cloud computing, you rarely want to restore the whole thing rather than just the data. It's way more than just state systems. We've been doing this since long before state systems were a thing.

With a stand-alone windows file server is not so bad redeploying it with the help of powershell. But it’s so different compare to Linux.

Yes, much more work for sure. But no matter what OS you use, no matter what your backup situation is, you should have a rapid new deployment system to rebuild systems whether it is script, state, or whatever.

I stumbled upon Comet Backup and Wasabi. Any feedback about them?
