I deployed Office 2016 last summer, we have not had a problem like yours.

Are you sure people aren't printing to OneDrive by mistake and leaving the files around?

Look the owner of the files, perhaps you'll find a small few are creating them.

Gather knowledge from different websites and after doing depth research for the topic, you can write for the same topic in your blog too with your own words. But rewrite the same article by changing words and sentences is not good and you should have to suffer from legality.

For you second question,

Technical steps for the same topic remain mostly the same for all articles. So if you think for write the topic which you have suggested here "Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7" then also technical steps remain the same which is the legal. But that doesn't mean that you can copy/paste in place of write in your own words.

Content flow is also important to make content more interesting for users. This article will help you to know how to write the article in the proper way.

@Dashrender said in offsite backup. NAS to NAS Remote Replication on QNAP NASes or other method ?:

The amount of storage you need in your backup appliance is totally based upon the backup methods and change rate of your data.

Assume you're doing incremental backups and that your daily changes are 10 GB, your original data is 6TGB, and your NAS is 12 TB, you'll be able to fit approximately 600 days of changes on there.

BUt there might be dedupe components, as well.
No idea about Dedupe components, I don't think I do have in my environment.

@openit said in Understanding 3-2-1 backup rule and son/father/grandfather model backups.:

@scottalanmiller Yeah, I understand, things like RAID, Snapshots within the HDD etc. are not real backups. They are just for redundancy (RAID), performance (RAID), limited restore (snapshots).

That's all that Starwind is, in that case, is RAID. It's just network RAID.

As for using it as a backup repo for XS, you wouldn't backup any other server to it's self.

Get a separate XS host and create a linux server on it which has the storage space you need. Or a reasonable NAS.

It's not a good idea to backup to the same target you are running your live systems on.

@scottalanmiller said in Archive (permanent backup) of data to Tape or M-Disc kind of storage ?:

Isn't M-DISC just a generic BluRay disc maker?

Probably.

A DNS level approach is very resource efficient because your gateway box does no heavy lifting. So you gain a lot of security without affecting performance.

Is that true? DNS requests still go out and fail, causing traffic on the router and delays for the users. Blocking on the router is actually less resource intensive because the router blocks the traffic entirely.

But how does that work with processing lists of URLs? Hundreds of thousands of URLs in a black list (potentially)

I suppose if you are still allowing and getting lookups but only then blocking and put that on your firewall instead of on the proxy, then that would be a small hit.

What Android version is your phone running? If lollipop there is an apparent bug in ADB.

Nope. I didn't know it before, and after going through the Vault product.

As I am seeing product is mainly meant for how to manage cad files efficiently from drafting to final design etc. but not for my requirements (proper control over permissions on files/folders).

Second thing is, we do not have only cad files, but also other type of files involved in each project and in each departments like MS applications, PDFs, CAD, 3Ds max etc.

So, basically, the current workflow doesn't work, and they don't want you to change said workflow.

Yup.
That's why I am trying to find any way to do it with third party software/tool to manage permissions instead of thinking about work flow/ changing work flow.

This is sign of a bad company. Specifically, bad management.

Ok, I understand, due to direct connection from Outlook with exchange, no port is being hit on Firewall. So only non-genuine emails going to be recognized at firewall.

Thanks.

Correct. Outlook has basically a private VPN back to the Exchange server over port 443 so no visible traffic of email on your network because there is none. That's better, so ANY SMTP traffic, on any port, is suspect.

Is that also means, if our ISP is blocking our email things due to Spam issue, it's not going to effect our O365 users (while they send emails through outlook client) ?

Outlook doesn't use SMTP or send email, it sends instructions to Exchange, which is totally different. No email protocols are involved.

Okay, so any email ports blocked by our ISP is not going to effect our O365 users.

Correct. You are not sending email in and out of your network, you are only looking at the email system remotely. There are no email protocols, no email traffic and no actual email moving across your network with the tools that you are using.

It has nothing to do with Office365 either. Outlook does not use email protocols for any thing on an exchange server. In house or otherwise.

Right, good point. This is all just general Exchange / Outlook protocol info, not related to a specific hosting service.

Heck, considering that - I have what I consider a better situation, though I'm sure others will disagree with me.

Since you're making some pretty big changes, now might be a good time to rebuild all of these computers. If you you can move them all to the same OS.
Not sure you're aware, but all of the machines you listed (7/8/8.1/10) qualify to be on Windows 10. Any reason they weren't upgraded during the free upgrade window?

Personally, I'd take an image of each system using Clonezilla, and upgrade them to Windows 10. Assuming the machines are granted a free upgrade to Windows 10, then I would purchase one Windows 10 Open License granting you imaging rights, purchase the needed upgrades for your home licensed computers bringing them legally to Windows 10 Pro, then create and deploy a Windows 10 image.

I skipped a lot of steps here, ask if you want, need more details.

Why I didn't upgraded all to Windows 10 ?

Yes, we upgraded so many computers to Wins 10. But mostly preferred to upgrade Windows 8/8.1. Not upgraded for all, because it was still 1 year old, cannot say how stable it is and don't want to do at that much quantity (100pcs). And some users are happy with Windows 7, better to not touch them if they are going fine.

That's a very bad was to think about software. Windows 10 is not "one year old", it is the update to Windows 8.1 which is the update to Windows 8 which is the update to Windows 7 which was the update to Windows Vista. Windows 10 is the most mature of that family. Windows 7 is the "one year old" release (but patched since then.) Windows 10 is the one with the most time of people testing the code because it is a decade old. You are actually doing the opposite of what you are thinking... you are staying on young "immature" code and avoiding the most stable, most tested code. And you are not trusting a vendor on whom you have decided to depend. That's a bad combination.

I see, so I was wrong at this point 😞

That's benefit of being active in community , learning things 🙂

Anyway, still I have chances I think, I seen somewhere to upgrade still to Windows 10 for free and second option is, we need to get Pro versions for some Home Editions, so I will get Windows 10 Pro.

You can do it. But I do not know the legality of it.

I will check. Thanks.

@John-Nicholson This is something you can do easily on your NFS/SMB remote (eg with ZFS), and because it will be handled transparently at the FS level, no problem with XO.

So, if it's not making enough benefit, better to leave it updates on it's own ? (automatic updates, individually)

And update to Windows 10 so that you get all the WAN benefits of WSUS without needing WSUS itself.
I think, it's about "Delivery Optimization " ? I will have a look....

Windows 10 has this great peer to peer functionality where patches and updates get downloaded to the LAN and the workstations share them amongst themselves. It's awesome, automatic functionality that improves your WAN utilization, speeds patching and lowers the cost of Windows maintenance for Microsoft.

Which CAD software are we talking about again?

Every single one that I've worked with had it's own version control built in, but would often cost extra for the licensing. You setup a server with the version control software for everyone to use. The workflow is then open V.C.S. -> checkout the file to be changed/add new file -> make changes -> save changes locally -> login to V.C.S. and check in the new version. Most of them would keep previous versions of files as well, and log who checked out each file (mostly so the next person who works on the file can go track them down when someone doesn't do the final step.) I'd say stick with the built-in tool chain.

Has this one reached a conclusion? Should we close it out?
