Symantec appears to have attempted to patent troll Veeam, but avoids suing larger VMware for the same thing, in the hopes of shutting down a small, but much more popular player in the backup space. Thankfully the attempt failed and now leaves Backup Exec looking like the silly, outdated product and just makes Veeam look that much better.

There is no place in professional software for patent trolling. It's only a way to advertise that you no longer see yourself has having a viable product.

Here is an example of a Robocopy command that might work for you:

Robocopy \\SourceServer\Share \\DestinationServer\Share /MIR /Z

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3160645/Grumpy-gorilla-flips-middle-finger-visitor-trying-picture-Bristol-Zoo.html

Just a friendly reminder....

In that example:

/MIR = Mirror
/Z = Make Robocopy able to be stopped and start again

The example that I provided also allows for the "by IP address" of both source and destination like you wanted. But you don't want to do that, you want to run it locally from the Windows box and just transfer the data directly to the NetApp.

So just put in the folder that you want to copy in the first portion and replace "DestinationServer" with the appropriate hostname or IP address of the NetApp.

That little bit of edgy-ness keeps me sharp.

Honestly, that's why I stuck around and spend much more time here than elsewhere now. IE The Spiceworks Community forums isn't getting me a good slap upside the head when I do something stupid.

It's an odd mix of being too PC and everyone just "playing nice" combined with personal attacks. It's like 90% of the time its super cushy and then suddenly it erupts into butt hurt.

Better than working directly with a hamster back end.

So if the folder that you want to copy is C:\data and the IP Address of your NetApp is 10.23.44.72 then you might use this command:

Robocopy C:\data \\10.23.44.72\data /MIR /Z

Greetings to all the new folks! We really should have some sort of mild, friendly hazing ritual for new members...

I am pretty sure that we do, actually.

What is it?

Just the general brutality of posting

Seems like they should have noticed that degree of attack traffic, but reading how it happened it doesn't seem as bad as it sounds. It was 21 million individuals having common username/password combinations and it was their individual accounts being compromised, so the 99 million hits would have only been so noticeable in the general volume of traffic.

The number only seems extreme given the lack of knowledge as to how large their normal traffic is.

After updating from ownCloud 8.0.4.2 to 8.1, the updater ran and now it does not want to talk to the database and when I change the database settings it tries to make a new admin account and says that the old one is already in use. Is there some trick here? Obviously the database is working.

So, today is Pi day. What kind of pie should be had today? Pizza? Desert?

Both?

You mean they didn't crawl through the vents and hang from the ceiling over a pressure sensitive floor?

You forgot the egregious body shots of a woman crawling though "laser" lights.

Bright lasers, so that you can clearly see them and her, of course.

Have an older tape array that uses U320 traditional SCSI (parallel scsi) and would like to attach to it via iSCSI for more or less obvious reasons. Is anyone familiar with an adapter or bridge that would do this?

This read like an april fools joke

Auditors, April Fools Prank... same difference.

Firewall maker Barracuda accidentally pushed out an update that caused corporate firewalls to crash. They are working on a fix but it will be manual and is not yet available. Whoops

It is tempting to want to just do an in place upgrade but that seems like you are just saving up problems for the future.

That's horrible.

I feel like this all just highlights the need for fair testing practices, standardized by testing agencies, not specified by vendors.

Yes, very much so. Independent third parties without constraints need to have public testing methods and public test results. Always difficult as nearly all testing agencies are sponsored by one vendor or another.
