It is indeed. It's running now.

How much data? How long is it taking?

Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics :)

260GB or so, nothing crazy. Not sure, ran it overnight.

Also, WTF... Who watches backups real time?

@Emad-R said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client:

better to use it on another VM close to that VM

No other VM. 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 :(

I've been using Duplicati where I need a standalone backup of a thing. Web based management interface makes it super simple to manage.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

Our go-to solution for VSS problems is to set up a dedicated snapshot volume. Otherwise we were getting timeouts and M$ does ugly things that don't make sense when VSS doesn't work properly.

@smartkid808 said in Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition:

@JaredBusch my bad. They just posted it on SW couple days ago about it, and the blog on the Veeam site is only 2 days old, didn't realize it was here already

Don't be afraid to repost. Hell I've done it before. I just want all the things cross linked whenever possible. Makes it easier to find details in 6 months.

In this case I even mis-remembered where the fuck I read about it. Thanks @dbeato.

@IRJ said in Azure Warm Backup Site:

Both places had under 250 employees and had offside data centers.

But had on prem for their primary workloads?

We had a very old core that only supported a few apps and none of them were SaaS at the time

Can you reassign disks between VMs yet?

The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

Unfortunately what they did ended up orphaning the files.

@Pete-S said in “Catastrophic” hack on email provider destroys almost two decades of data:

So if you make a backup to something like Backblaze. Would that be considered an offline backup?

Depends how it is done. It's online, not offline. But it can be airgapped.

@NashBrydges said in Backing up Office 365:

@Dashrender @Jimmy9008 My largest client to use this for their Office 365 backup has 42 mailboxes and it works very well for them. I can't confirm with anything larger than that though.

In theory then it should work well for me. Will test and see. Thanks

@wrx7m said in Why DR Plans are Important and Need to be Tested:

This is a good reason to have more than one credit card from more than one bank.

This isn't just a credit issue though. It's people literally unable to access their own money, not money on credit. More so if people have the money in their checking/savings account to pay their bills why should they have to pay their bills on credit?!

The bank had better pay off any interest if their customers had to use a credit card to pay for anything during this time to get things back to Zero.

So, circling back. How is the backup project going?
