@thecreativeone91 crazy should be a requirement for almost any job - need a good variety of crazy in IT.

I deal with people, boss sorts and categorizes like... a boss, co-worker is at one with the network. Seems to work ok for us 🙂

In the office at 6am tomorrow... Ugh... The only good news is I get off at 3pm, lol.

Scale is busy this month.

They are sponsoring the St. Louis SpiceCorp on the 23rd.

that's what the Skype chat is for!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone, it's hard to really take the time to hunt for answers when it's loud.

My thinking was more along @scottalanmiller's this time... But like everything "it depends" on what the server does. For a File Server, or an application server (Exchange, et al) that we previously mentioned, to me an agent would make more sense.

However, I thought that restoring to different hardware was actually a function of the restore process, and not necessarily part of the backup process. (I guess it depends on what backup software we are talking about).

Your first, and thus main, backup should always be the entire VM for anything.

If you then need some of the features a backup from inside the OS gives you, then make secondary backups there.

Veeam can be made application aware and issue commands inside the guest to ensure the specified application is in a state for a valid recovery. I would assume that Unitrends has similar functionality, but no idea.

While we are on the subject of yellow attire, I wsa reminded of "the yellow dart":

@nadnerB I just finished coughing and choking on my coffee lol - thanks man

To be honest, I've never (after close to 20 years in IT) gotten passionate about a backup software before Veeam. It's weird.

Same here.

That's silly since they said that they were not monitoring it and they were just trusting you to only use 1TB as it is.

In two weeks you get a phone call: SAM, I see you are using 1.6 TB of source data on our free Unitrends package... Would you like to upgrade now?

For we can settle this in court. haha. Buy or else.

@g.jacobse @thecreativeone91 18650's are Lithium ion, which are plenty freaking dangerous! Batteries and caps are the only things that really scare the poop outta me in electronics.

For the charging/discharging/maintenance/safety stuff you can get cheap LI pack minders on ebay with a full LCD screen and all the goodies. Then you roll your own enclosure (mine will be sheet steel, a project box or wood). I will also integrate a speaker and amp in mine so when I go camping I've got tunes + battery charger for phone.

@Minion-Queen just look in your bushes outside, I'm sure you will find the person sending you these things...

and that's on "max performance" lol
crunk up to 11

HUH, how did I miss this thread a month ago?

Drag it didn't work out.

I recomment JetBlue when possible. Have had very good luck.

to be fair (this is coming from a non-minion), you might as well team up with a MSP if you're not already employed by one and are interested in technology. Depending on the mesarket, and MSP, you get exposed to soooo many things that you just don't get exposure to when you're part of a single businesses' IT dept. Not that there's anything wrong with being in house, it's where most everybody starts. that being said....Anybody want to be a super part time no idea how to have an intern Intern for Hub Tech Solutions?
