      I imagine in the Linux world backing up and restoring scheduled tasks would look something like this:

      1. Make a copy of the files related to cron (like crontab)
      2. [something happenes to your scheduled tasks]
      3. Replace damaged files related to cron with your copies.

      Am I right? Is it truly that simple?

      At least with Windows Server, I've found that copying the contents of c:\windows\system32\tasks then transplanting the contents into the same folder for a test server, doesn't cut it. As I'll need to go through an import setp to get stuff setup in the Task Scheduler.

      Yes, it's really that simple.

      /sigh πŸ™‚ I laugh a bit about how I'd have far less head-against-the-wall beatings if we were a Linux shop.

      Well of course. Windows is anything but simple (in comparison to other products in their space.)

        That's even complex compared to our way using Salt πŸ™‚

          Update to the network definitions last night causes users computer to BSOD when launching one of our applications.

          Why are you letting them run SEP to start with?

          Not my network. This client, we only write custom billing software for.

                So user shipped an "malfunctioning" Altigen IP phone back to me. Box included two power adapters (one connected to the phone), neither of which were the ones I provided with the phone. >(

                    Is that legal up there, to just kill a bear? If you happen across one.

                        With a hunting license, appropriate tag etc absolutely.

                        https://wildsafebc.com/black-bear/

                        BC boasts one of the highest populations of black bears in the world with their numbers being somewhere between 120 and 150 thousand animals. Pretty much all of BC is considered β€œbear country” with bears inhabiting everything from the coastal forests, through to the interior grasslands. From north to south and east to west in this province you’ll have a chance to see black bears.

                          That isn't the same as going out fishing, and then you happen to shoot a bear.

                                Nah, the bears aren't regulated as such they can get as many hunters as they can bag.

                                Actually I believe you're correct a man killing/eating bear is hunted as a threat to the local population. Which makes little to no sense.

                                            Desktop and phone moved.

                                            I didn't and probably won't finish the office now. Summer means a shift on priorities... so back burner on a unused stove it goes...

                                            Surroundings aren't the best to look at, but at least I still have WiFi
