Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition
https://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.htmlWasn’t there a thread for this? Or was it a telegram discussion?

Ah, well for those curious, the big new thing, aside from the rebranding, is that you get full Veeam functionality for up to 10 VMs. Not just VeeamZip as it has always had.
I have not upgraded my free instance yet to test though.
So you start out with unlimited VMs but with limited features unless you are only backing up 10 VMs, you'll get the features of the standard edition?
-
Either way, this makes me want to move from Altaro free version of only allowing 2 VMs.

I'm guessing I'll be getting a contact from Veeam reps because I downloaded their products.

Veeam Agent for Linux v3
Does the install work correctly on Fedora 29 without doing that fix?

Oh yeah, they can be a little relentless at times.

BtrFS support now, nice.

Holy cats - that's awesome! though unless you can run it from a Linux Distro, it's still no where near free - you need an $800 Windows server license to run it from.

Anyone ever try running Veeam in WINE?

Anyone ever try running Veeam in WINE?
I doubt it would, but would also be happily surprised if it's possible.

Why do you doubt it? I'm trying to think of what Veeam would be tied to that would prevent it? something like compression performance might suck going through an emulator, but beyond that - I can't think of anything that's overly complex about the app. But what do I know?

No, that feels like a really bad idea.
Keep in mind that deep integration with the OS is why Veeam uses Windows. Things like VSS, NTFS, ReFS, Dedupe, etc. that can't be handled via Wine.

It doesn't even exist in Wine.
Wine is not an emulator, it's a copy.

Wine literally stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"

Some of these software on this list would be difficult.

hmmm.. isn't that handled on the client side? On the VM hosts themselves? Now Dedupe - OK that could be local, though for a bandwidth POV, that wouldn't make sense either.

No, it's handled in the datastore.
That's why Windows is required. Veeam isn't stupid, they didn't cripple the product just to limit their income.

The Roomba lawnmower is finally happening
17 years after the Roomba, iRobot tackles the great outdoors.
A Roomba lawnmower has been rumored for years. The company has robomower patents going all the way back to 2008, and as recently as 2015 the company was petitioning the FCC to allow it to make its outdoor beacon navigation system legal. The original Roomba was introduced in 2002, when iRobot mostly had the home-robotics market to itself. Waiting 17 years to tackle the great outdoors means iRobot is now jumping into a crowded field of competitors, and it will have to do battle with Robomow, Husqvarna's Automower line, Honda's Miimo, and a line of mowers from Worx, among others.

I thought that someone had one of these out a long time ago. Did I imagine that? What that a movie?

The snippet clearly states that they are entering a crowded field.
How would you even infer any except that other units are out?
