If we open the only other VM, ESXi can't work. So that tool, I'd expect, couldn't actually run. Oh you can run it from any where, as long as you can ping the ESXi or reach it. but i prefer a VM cause its faster I see. That was a problem for us because we couldn't transfer off of the server, their network wasn't fast enough

      Our go-to solution for VSS problems is to set up a dedicated snapshot volume. Otherwise we were getting timeouts and M$ does ugly things that don't make sense when VSS doesn't work properly.

      @wrx7m said in Why DR Plans are Important and Need to be Tested: This is a good reason to have more than one credit card from more than one bank. This isn't just a credit issue though. It's people literally unable to access their own money, not money on credit. More so if people have the money in their checking/savings account to pay their bills why should they have to pay their bills on credit?! The bank had better pay off any interest if their customers had to use a credit card to pay for anything during this time to get things back to Zero.

      @Pete-S said in Redundancy is building a bridge and an identical one immediately next to it: Regarding evolution we are probably more geared towards surviving external threats than we are towards surviving internal organ failures by old age and a sedentary lifestyle. Right, almost certainly. Partially because in the big picture, that's the bigger threat. Not in this particular moment in time, although in parts of the world that remains true. But to get to where we are, we have to be geared towards overall survival and can't change the design quickly when the situation suddenly changes.

Generally these have very little on them and through simple policy can everything be saved on your servers or cloud and thus don't need backup. I would really like to do this. We have onedrive available for all of our users and I was thinking of coming up with some sort of system that just uses their onedrive as the primary source of their homefolder. That's how I do it but we are using Nextcloud. All users root folders under their user profile is linked to the actual folders in C:\Users\john.doe\Nextcloud{Desktop, Documents, etc...}. And the data is synced back to the Nextcloud server and that server is backed up. How do you go about doing that? Editing the location of Desktop, Documents, etc... ? Use Junction Points. Its like using symbolic links in Linux. Oh... Duh, lol. Thanks. I'm just trying to figure out how that would work if you have to do more than a few client machines at a time. Something like this. It is not ready for prime time, but was my starting point last week when setting up a new desktop. $User = Read-Host "Enter UserName" Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Desktop" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Desktop" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Desktop" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Documents" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Documents" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Documents" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Downloads" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Downloads" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Downloads" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Favorites" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Favorites" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Favorites" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Music" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Music" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Music" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Pictures" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Pictures" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Pictures" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Videos" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Videos" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Videos" -Force where would this be run from, the DC? This would have to be run from the End-user's computer from the looks of it. You are trying to screw with the end user's folders. they have to exist, and you have to have rights to them. neither of which are true of an admin account. Are you automating this -- then How? If you're not automating it, then why not just manually add the folders to the NextCloud client? /sigh FFS... @JaredBusch said in Crashplan vs Backblaze in 2018: Something like this. It is not ready for prime time, but was my starting point last week when setting up a new desktop. lol. I thought you were talking about the code... Time to research a way to do that.

Migration? It's definitely not automatic in the least. Planned failover? There's a checkbox to uncheck if you don't want automatic reverse replication and the VM to automatically start up. Could that be what you meant? Of course it is. In an actual cluster. Which involves System Center Configuraiton Manager (SCCM). @DustinB3403 used the word cluster, but he does not have one. Oh shit, I missed that it was about a cluster. I was thinking Hyper-V Manager, right-click, live migration. Totally spaced there. Yeah, that was my point, it is not a cluster.

      @Donahue said in Adding tape drive: at this point, I would have to get management buy in to really consider cloud, I want to evaluate the options before hand to know how much I should or shouldn't be pushing for the cloud. Recent conversations with @scottalanmiller have me questioning our historical reasons and motivations for why we use what we use. In my case, we have a mix of prior misinformed speculation and my limited personal experience. I don't see a reason to emulate tape if I'm not going to use tape, but I really don't know Well if you use tape, then no reason to emulate.

      @jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability. So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it. For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

      @obsolesce said in Agent and Agentless Backups: @stacksofplates said in Agent and Agentless Backups: @obsolesce said in Agent and Agentless Backups: @stacksofplates said in Agent and Agentless Backups: As much as I like to argue with @scottalanmiller I have to agree that usually agents are easier. Because the agent based backup meant that to recover the entire guest, I would have to mount a special ISO, it wasn't nearly as straightforward as "restore this backup from 15 minutes ago to Host 2". That is in no way a requirement of agent based systems. This sounds more like there isn't a reliable way to reproduce a system and the data isn't on a separate volume. Make sure the systems can be rebuilt immediately and you can just reattach the data and be done. Even with something as simple as ReaR, you define your skeleton volumes you want backed up and include that in your template. Example (I'll use Ansible since that's what I know): The template would have this in it: BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE=('{{ backup_dirs | join("' '") }}') You'd have a list (in this case called backup_dirs) that gets iterated over: backup_dirs: - /home/* - /data/* - /var/www/html/* That backup_dirs list is specific to each machine when it's created. The agent based stuff is really simple because it can very easily be specific for each machine and always be specific when the systems are built without any work after the initial set up. Just because a system is backed up via agentless backup doesn't mean the VMs data can't be separate. I could have a VM backed up agentlessly that has its data on a separate volume / virtual disk... then I could instantly restore the VM and OS, reattach the data, and not have to rebuild shit. That's not why I said that. If you have to fully restore a system from an ISO the agent built, then it doesn't sound like the data was separate. No I meant you would boot to a recovery/boot ISO so you can restore the server from within the recovery encironment You're missing what I'm saying. If the data volume is separate you just attach it to a fresh VM and don't have to do that at all. The only time you need to rebuild from that recovery environment is when either the data isn't separate or you can't reliably reproduce the OS volume.
