Apparently Dell / EMC has outsourced their sales dicks to India... and now it sounds just like talking to their support. Broken english, thick accent, stiffly reading off a script.

At a minimum figuring out how to do this with rsync for the backup portion would be nice.

You need to get the pro support if you want otherwise.

We have pro support, I always use the chat feature because I hate talking on the phone. This was basically a cold sales call from India, which someone in support decided to send to me.

What about Pro Sales, though?

So Pro Support still means Indian sales calls. Good to note.

You're calling the wrong number then, and not actually getting pro support. It basically direct to someone in the US. This was as of a few months ago and doubt it changed.

US or overseas doesn't matter, I despise having a phone stuck to my ear for any length of time. On a support chat, I get better results with no direct human interaction, and I can still do other things while I'm on the chat.

If you had the right place on the phone, it's just you telling them what you need and them either sending you the part or sending out a tech. Always quick.

Maybe the boss here has the right number, because the time I called the "pro support" number on their website, I got a level 1 script monkey who could barely read, let alone actually provide any support. But, like I said before, I'd rather get stabbed in the ear than be on a phone call for 30 seconds, so I don't call support unless there is literally no other option.

Gotcha, calling support is always < not calling support.

Timeclocks.... they're all cursed anyway, why not continue to use a serial interface.

@travisdh1 Hey, what could possible go wrong with 25 pins, only some of which you'll ever use on any given device. . .
