Haha not really no, best answer I can honestly give you.... I had the ISO downloaded already.

Guess this is the kick in the butt I needed to download a new ISO

@dafyre

We need the speed though.

If the building blows up we drive over and get the data

@Sparkum 100-200GB per day in changes?

That's a very large Delta if you're trying to replicate those changes off site.

yeah do the math

5 Mb/s = 18,000 Mb/hr (2.25 GB/hr) max. It's unlikely that you'll get max use, assuming 80% you looking at being able to send 1.8 GB/hr. Assuming you close at 5 PM and open at 7 AM, that's 14 hours you can transfer at full speed, 1.8 * 14 = 31.5 GB per night.

Office is 100/100

And ya increasing the line at the store is COMPLETELY an option. Just trying to weigh all my options here.

Additionally I dont need ALL the data replicated everynight.

Certain things like sharepoint, IIS, reportserver, things like that that dont change often could be backed up less often, so long as the data is relevant enough.

For ~200GB of changes you're in the butter zone for LTO5/6. Just make sure if you go with 6 you can feed it fast enough as they work best with a full buffer to avoid running out of data mid write.

I personally wondering if the ~200GB number I'm coming up with is more how Backup Exec does its backups, looking closely I cant fathem why certain servers have the growth they are showing.

I've had nightmares about trying to use / fix BackupExec that would scare the underpants off a fully grown sysadmin

Haha ya for sure, I dont think anyone would disagree that it has its downsides.

@scottalanmiller

Awesome,

Like always, much appreciated @scottalanmiller

@scottalanmiller
Awesome thanks!

I'll start my google-boxing now!

@BRRABill

Awesome thanks!

I'll add this to my project list for my homelab

@Technomancer

Hey!

So I'm currently trying to set up Worldping but I'm having troubles setting up the API key.

Was wondering if you could lend a hand.

I continuously see

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer
api key" http://worldping-api.raintank.io/api/dashboards/db/mydash

like this and similar.

I'm also reading that I can just authenticate by username

None of this is working, could you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Hey look at that Rsync is working!

Thanks guys,

I'll let this sync the files then I'll will start looking into Cron jobs in the meantime

Thanks all!

Awesome thanks,

Will def move this up on my project list

oh such a long list it is =/

@travisdh1

Alright thanks, I would like to imagine those specs will atleast get me going for a while!

@RamblingBiped

Will I see a benefit - Probably not

Will I learn a new skill - Yep

I understand the "basic" fundamentals of how dockers should operate, and I've planned with them in Unraid (but that's just click and hit install) so just wanted to start the whole thing from the beginning and see how exactly they operate.

Thanks for the detailed response.

@FiyaFly
Hey

Ya one of the largest points of re-doing everything is to get it to a point where we can schedule it (we currently run it 2 times a week and then enter some information)

So we are also trying to get all the cells that we would manually add information to populate.

There are alot of one off reports (using this report) that people want, for example we currently run it on Monday and Thursday, but people also want then different time frames etc so while scheduling it eliminates the time problem it only really half eliminates it.

I was actually able to make a few changes and got the report down to 27 minutes, so I'm back on track for optimizing the report!

Thanks

Hey there.

I was hoping some of you would be able to help me diagnose a strange DNS issue I am having at work.

So roughly every 2 days, typically 1 computer will have this issue, and its been going on for a few months now but havent had 30 seconds to look at it until post xmas, then higher priority projects etc.

So to begin it will "typically" appear that external internet access is lost, the user will reboot their computer, and upon reboot will have lost internal and external access.

Once at this state the only resolution appears to be to do an ipconfig /release /renew,

I would say out of an office of roughly 50 people, this has only ever affected maybe...7 people, for a total of....maybe 40 times in the past 4-5 months.

Its definitely nothing 911 critical however; it has started to affect our President a few times now so that obviously jumps it up in the priority que.

Would anyone happen to have any suggests on where to start going down this rabbit hole.

Thanks!
