Dad-in-law and I are considering getting our General radio licenses and trying to help a brother-in-law get his Tech.

Just finished a quick SQL code sample on my blog site: https://travisdh1.net/sql/sample1
Now that I've taken care of a little SEO for it as well, time for bed.

I remember my SQL class from my days at Gwinnett Tech. I loved it, and left the class wanting to become a DBA :).

I was a generalist for a long time, so this was part of the gig. If the relational DB is designed properly it's just a joy to work with, sadly, few get it all correct. One of these days, things like MongoDB will become standard and make all our lives that much easier!

D&D night. Party is playing with beholders.

SAM IT videos are why I don’t go to sleep on time.

LOL, that's the first time that I've heard that!

Wondering if I move from XenServer to KVM what do I use for backups?
At the moment that's handled by XenOchestra -

Good morning all!! Happy to be alive today.
-
having a moral issue because I am going to have to convert my laptop to a coding machine, since my custom desktop doesn't have the space, it seems. Probably better anyway, to make me more mobile, but it's more efficient for me to basically reformat it, since it's been so slow. I just have a lot of sorting to do of pictures and music on the device. It's been my primary mobile media system.
So I need to back everything up, so looks like investment in a few 64GB flash drives is in my future to back all that up. and then I will have a Linux laptop. Never used Linux before.

Think I've got my Pi's behaving. Key one was to just leave it for a few hours before doing the update/upgrade commands. Guess something runs in the background on first install and boot.
2nd thing to "figure" out is how to "gracefully" close all tabs and exit chromium on a schedule i.e. 2am in the morning.

That is not a backup, it is a copy. It is also totally not how backups work.

Installing updates on workstations all day.

It's correct to say it's no longer a backup once there is only one copy - the copy on the USB stick. For one to have a true backup, you'd have to have at least two copies (a copy on two different USB sticks).

@quixoticgerber should look at something like BackBlaze.

Ah, there it is. I was thinking it wouldn't work for some reason.

No. Making a copy of the data is part of a back up but it is not a back up. Ever.
