@momurda Seriously, I helped a kid in Texas via TeamViewer to be able to mount a drive inside of ESXi.
He had no clue, but had hundreds of VM's he was "in charge of".
I could've screwed him over royally if I wasn't such a nice guy.

Plugged in my laptop in the hotel. Off to the Extrnded Veeam session.

@NerdyDad Yeah . . . . only been at the new job a month.
This is just a trouble issue as I'm trying to archive things from past years and the user base here has been allowed to do whatever they want.
Use a mklink or mount the folder as a drive letter.

Contemplating the fact that the only real downside to being bald is I have no hair to pull out when I am frustrated.

You can always take it out on your own body

I save a fortune on shampoo.

Finally at the point of restoring my Windows server backup.
-
@scottalanmiller I haven't bought shampoo since last century.

Shampoo can be used on more than just your head . .

As I suspected: restore failed. The error message was curious.
The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057) -- This error is caused by a bug in File Backup where if you don’t back up at least one file during the full backup, every backup after that fails. The workaround is to go through the Backup wizard again and choose a new full file backup at the very end.

@EddieJennings What tool is this?

@DustinB3403 Good 'ole Windows Server Backup.

Shampoo can be used on more than just your head . .
Shampoo is just liquid bar soap with some additives and fancy advertising.
Some of those additives are useful, majority is probably better for your hair if you drank it.

But it doesn't taste like whiskey. . .

@DustinB3403 "Free" and my ignorance from a couple of years ago.

Veeam is free today. . .

@DustinB3403 I've restored individual files from this backup before without a problem, but I was curious to see how the "bare metal" restore would go, and it did as I expected.
And yes, I'm looking into other options.
-
Not that I solely condone using "free", I prefer to spend wisely.
-
@DustinB3403 We (rest of my colleagues) have been slowly gaining ground in teaching the cost of free to others.
