You rang???

We ate at Pizza Planet once (Disney), but I am guessing that's not the same thing.

Yeah, Best But. I love that place.

The marriage of digital and tube is definitely where it's at. That's what I've been using for all of my guitar effects for the past few years, and I love it. It's about time someone went that direction for audio playback.

Does 6 to Midnight have a web page or Facebook or something?

The Geekery have been trying to make Linux "happen" in the office space for the past 30+ years. It's not happening. Get over it. Behind-the-curtain business functions, monitored and operated by geeks hiding in a closet somewhere in the building? Sure; Linux is great. Something that I have to touch, and that other business people have to share and use? Forget it! It is NOT the tool for the job. Sorry. Go back to your closet and watch YouTube vids of League of Legends tournaments...

This is so girly-looking.

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).

Right, @scottalanmiller : the free UEB does not support physical clients. File-level backups denotes physical.

You can create a CIFS or NFS share on your NAS to attach storage that way. Here's how...

No multiple displays? I just heard @ajstringham 's head droop. Scratch that one off the wish list.

@scottalanmiller Absolutely agree. Dedupe @ storage is beneficial. Dedupe on a single VM? What is there really to dedupe?

Personally, I would be very wary, regardless of the reason. I've seen it enough times to become somewhat jaded, I guess. If there is an excuse or emergency right out of the gate, it often is a glimpse of things to come. There are just too many of "those people" who seem to have never-ending drama. Sometimes they have very legitimate drama, but I still think I know who causes it in those cases. Be your own judge, but don't pull that with me and expect a job offer...

In office #1, it's a cheap task chair. The kid has my comfy office chair, and it's a pain to type for long sitting in it. In office #2, I sit on a throne... a drum throne, that is. It's a nice $150 pork Pie, and it's very comfy. I love it, but it has no back.

that was 2 back slashes, not one, but even when I go in an try to edit the post, it still only shows one. Not sure why it did that...

There are 2 places to get the agent for Windows. You can get them on the web site: http://www.unitrends.com/support/latest-agent-releases , or you can pull them from the share on the appliance (UEB). If you go to your server, open up <Run> and enter \192.168.1.50 (ex. ...it's whatever the IP of the UEB is) you can see the Windows Agent Share folder and get it from there. There will be a 32 and 64 bit option, as well as the bare metal agent, which is only for physical Windows platforms (not virtual).

The perfect combination (to me) would be a workbench (that's the term for the "standing desk" that's been in use for hundreds of years) and a drafting chair. You can stand and use it, or you can sit at a comfortable height and use it. Or, you can slide the computers to the side and use it for actual work. Go ahead and hate me; I can take it.

I just had to step in and take care of this gaping hole in the content of this site. Was this a mere oversight? Is there something deeper and far more sinister being woven into the fabric of this community? How can we claim to be an IT community of the geeks, by the geeks, and for the geeks... and yet not a single topic is dedicated to bacon? I distinctly recall a post praising coffee and its obvious merits. So without further ado, let's have a "bacon" thread!

I am working from 2 monitors currently, and I just use the real estate to keep 2-4 things "up front" as I work on a single task encompassing the apps I am looking at... or I am watching email on #2 while playing Minecraft on #1 (but I swear that never really happens).
