Pretty sure the OP is titled "Who Has Gravatar Issues". If you don't, why was it necessary to post that? lol

Or, it could smell like post-broccoli farts. Those will wake you up in a hurry.

@dafyre Yeah don't, the wireless was horrid.
As I understand it the guy essentially up and disappeared after agreeing to get things configured for the conference. And was a no call / no show during all attempts to reach him.
We had an AV person lined up, but the "contracted hotel AV provider" threw a fit about us not using his services, so Danielle caved to keep the peace. Then, just about last-minute, he said he didn't have the equipment we required and so we would have to use someone else. In the meantime, our previously-engaged person made other plans. We more or less had my personal PA system, which is built around live music and not public speaking presentations. We did the best we could with what we had and a limited budget. Next year will not be like that!
Ugh. This is what happens when the Plebians become too empowered... more work for us.
@JaredBusch I'm not sure, but we can certainly discuss it. There may be a reason it's not currently enabled, like, maybe we didn't know it was there? Not sure.

I often am asked to sit on my hands when I am talking.
But it doesn't help much, or last more than a few seconds.

@Minion-Queen unltimate
maybe she needs a refresh on her IT knowlege...
No Windows tablet here, but my ipad is a wonderful tool, that I use primarily to browse 9gag and Youtube while lying in bed or taking a bath. As for work, I have a PC. 'nuff said.

I have always loved Kix. Very sad that I can't eat it anymore.
You don't have to eat it anymore. They're "kid tested, mother approved". You just have to approve of them.

It's like being there all over again!
You watching these while drinking too?
My mind immediately associated the sickness, but I guess that may have mostly been a somewhat related result of the drinking part... at least for some. Lookin' at you @brianlittlejohn .
If you protect at the hypervisor level, that's virtual and included in the free version. If you try to go the agent-route (which is protecting the vm itself, as @scottalanmiller suggested), that is a "physical" type of backup approach and not supported on the free version. When you protect at the hypervisor level, the hypervisor pushes out to the guest vm's, agent-less. If you put the agent on a single vm and want to register it to Unitrends as a stand-alone client, that's the "physical" approach. Typically, that would be better protection for machines with application level servers (exchange, SQL, sharepoint).
...it just doesn't look right to me right now.
It shouldn't, it's left.
I see what you did there...

Yeah, it was absolutely crazy and terrifying.
Which is why (at least I think) the phrase "Flying by the seat of your pants" was coined....
Long / Deep space exploration is impractical because of the amount of fuel, water and Oxygen that would need to be bottled and hauled with. You'd have to build a Bio-sphere type system.. a 'Mini Earth'
But I'm no rocket scientist..
...not to mention the real distances you're talking about. Our movies today have our minds so misguided in terms of what deep space is really like. All of these Star Trek images of hopping around different galaxies is absolutely ridiculous. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across, and we're about 26,000 light years from the edge. That means that you could travel at light speed for 25,000 years and not reach the edge. Our recorded history is roughly 6,000 years. It would take almost 5 times that at light-speed travel just to get to the closest exit from our galaxy (of course, that's edge-on)! So, unless we can figure out how to go thousands of times faster than light speed, or learn how to create wormholes (which, of course are only theoretical to begin with) with known locations on either end, the whole ball of wax is kind of absurd. But don't let facts and logic throw you off course.

I didn't know VSA used a VM on each host to do it's job. How does it control the disk beneath the other VMs?
You can build your own VSA to see how it works. You can do it with Linux or BSD quite easily. You build a virtual NAS (which is what VSA means) and use DRBD (Linux) or HAST (BSD) to make the cluster work. You share the storage to the local machine via NFS. Now you have a VM that can provide storage for the other VMs locally.
Quite easily to SAM is not so easy to the person who is semi-familiar with Linux.
Something SAM needs to be reminded of occasionally.
So, where is the "November 2015 Performance" thread?
We just passed 750,000 views, and today is the 16th!! By Wednesday, we should pass the all-time monthly high for views, and easily blow past 1,000,000 for the month. Way to go, Mangoes!
If everyone is in a "only 3% of the population" type, what type makes up the bulk of everyone else out there?

That's why you are here, Art - to slap him around a bit.
Well, I'm here to chew bubble gum and slap people ...and I'm all out of bubble gum.
Plain doesn't mean that it doesn't have a "name" that makes it the trendy thing to have and spend way too much on, and just because all of your backpacks are free doesn't mean your wife uses them. Hey @scottalanmiller , does "Vera Bradley" ring a bell?
I'm already awesome. What would I do with those?
It really does work most of the time. It's difficult to make a plug and play, one size fits all product for business computing. Every environment is unique, and every admin has their own methodology to configuring their architecture (often, that is driven by general cluelessness and/or ignorance). I think that, given the diversity of what you have to be able to adapt to, the roughly 95% success rate that I have seen with incremental forever is pretty decent. The thing that makes it somewhat aggravating is that it is a proprietary mechanism that is held rather tightly. Even inside of Unitrends, there doesn't seem to be a lot of general knowledge floating around about how to fix it when it doesn't work. The algorithms that control it are basically "unknown". It's a magical thing, powered by pixie dust, and you don't mess with it; it just kinda does its thing. If you have a Unitrends support contract, and it's giving you trouble, they can help diagnose it and get it fixed. For the rest of us...
