@JaredBusch That is what it looks like if using the installation script.
Just want to be certain as I only have snapshots atm.
Safest thing to do is shutdown the VM and make a snapshot. Then boot back up and upgrade.
A shutdown VM is a perfectly safe restore point because there are no open DB calls and such.

Yeah, also setting up Veeam free to backup the VM as well.

That is great for backups, but it is horribly slow because it is for backups.
Shutdown, snapshot, and boot back up is way faster for something like this.

Finally sitting at my computer since over the weekend was dealing with Power Outages, Thunderstorms and down trees. Now I can continue review of systems.

Back to finding a way to backup / restore Sever 2012 R2 scheduled tasks.

Going to be a lot of hand holding today because of WannaCry, or the fear there-of. I try to keep us updated and patched. Mostly everybody is on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2008R2, with some 2003, 2012, and 2016 servers. When MS did the whole free-upgrade thing a couple of years ago, we took advantage of it and did as many computers as possible.
Now, people around here are panicking because of WannaCry. I'm trying to tell them that we're not targeted, we're already patched for it, and that it is targeting XP machines. Its falling on deaf ears. Today is going to be one of those days.
I'm going to go and get me a drink. Starting early today.

@DustinB3403 Bears climb trees really well so best not to think about it and just go for the gusto
@MattSpeller as the resident Canadian has near daily encounters with bears.
Black bears are no big deal, it's the brown ones that poop out pepper scented bells
Actually going to hunt a black bear this weekend - by which I mean we are going fishing and if we see a bear we'll take the opportunity.
Can you eat bear?
Hell yeah, that's the only reason I'd kill an animal.
Bear steak, roast, chops, ribs, jerky, sausage.... mmmmm

There's an export option. I think it exports to XML.

They do, I have used that manually to migrate tasks a bit. Never looked into any automation.

The only reason I'd go out with the intention of killing an animal. If they come to me it's fair play. -

The backup XS server decided to start throwing Control Domain Memory Usage errors over the weekend. Time to go edit some config files.

Yeah. I've got stuff exported to XML. Working on a way to automate importing it back. I'm getting close though. When I figure it out, I'll make a thread about it.
