Chances are if Linux can do it, it probably does it better than Windows, lol.

It's like Unicorn Farts! Dark magic comes from unicorn butts.

Excuse me, but unicorn farts are light magic.

Light magic is like merlin. Unicorns are hard core Scottish alien magic.

A unicorn is the national animal of Scotland

That's why I mentioned Scotland.

And so came about the discount code for next years tickets, ha ha.

It should be noted thta Crashplan is an AWESOME file-level backup utility. It will not, however, restore a dead server or VM from scratch.

I would recommend a NAS (see other posts in this topic for recommendations)... and then using a backup utility from Veeam, Unitrends, StorageCraft (ShadowProtect), etc, etc... This way you can retain the file-level recovery via crash plan, and the blank slate recovery via a full-system backup utility.

Just my 2 servers ran a tune of 60k.

How did two get that high?

Each server is:

Dell R720 (xd? It's got 12 x 2.5" bays)
256GB of RAM
1.2TB RAW SSD Storage (6 x 200GB drives, Dell branded, most likely, 800GB Usable in RAID 6).
2 x NVIDIA Grid K2 cards.

These are for VDI and they run some heavy hitter apps. Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, AutoCAD, and a few others that I can't remember.

I wonder if next year if doing a live, full FreePBX build out would be good. Complicated, but cool.

Just tell everybody to pre-install a SoftPhone on their Mobile device if they want to actually see it work. lol.

Veeam Endpoint Recovery free works on physical devices. 8-) I have it running on my office machine here as well as at home.

Whew... Finally made it to a computer... Been at doc offices for checkups all morning for wifey... and it's my turn on Friday, lol.

I guess you guys are right. Nobody got Parking Garage'd.

ha ha ha. No argument there. The advantage of the Veeam B & R (everything is GUI except for the scheduling from what I gather) is that you get central control over your backup repository... which is most likely a must when dealing with a bunch of VMs...

With Endpoint Recovery, everything is stand alone. Each device (physical or vm) has to be setup and configured, and scheduled, etc, etc... A major headache if you have more than a few VMs.

It's tough loving the ambiance of heavy rain battering against the roof and windows, while also knowing that there's a good chance it will make a lot more work for me if it manages to cause a power outage...

Yeah I feel your -- bzzt.....you see the magic smoke escaping

This could be combined with IT Finance or as a compliment to IT finance. The role-playing aspect could be very powerful. Especially if we had some real world examples from the community.

Just destroyed my old cloud server. That's a scary feeling.

watches for mushroom cloud

Me too!

I tried setting DHCP up on my ZT network using Windows. .. sadly, Windows does not list the ZT Interface to serve DHCP on.

I will try a Linux install and see what happens.

How do you guys keep gems like this one so you can easily find them in the future?

OwnCloud and a folder called Memes, lol.

Defiantly not going.

You should Defiantly go anyway!

Or you can cheat a little bit. This works using IIS, Apache, or whatever other web service you want...

Export Port 80 on your web server, assuming you have one available to the public...

Then setup folder structures... ie: /services/spiceworks

In the spiceworks folder, put an index.html file that reads:

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=https://my.server.name:mysslport' />

That will automatically redirect your users to the HTTPS server and port and they dont' have to remember port numbers, etc. for themselves.

@Joy It took me a minute to figure out that was a bottle of something. All I saw were the two glowing "eyes"...
