@JaredBusch I have a computer dedicated for recovery like theses. Old Pentimum D with 4 GB of RAM with Ubuntu and two 1 500 GB drive and two 2 TB drives for Image storage. It works well.

Made it halfway before it started to have errors, but still chugging away.
-
Back to Cinnamon. KDE Plasma's loading time was annoying me. Setting font scaling to 1.5 seems to meet my display needs while maintaining 1920x1080 resolution.

Waiting for our WatchGuard Dimensions server to be built and set-up ....................

I've never encountered errors while using DD, what can you do when this happens?

That looks like bad sectors there. Maybe it gets all the important data.

Morning coffee and tickets.
-
Morning caffiene and two ACs out in one server room, and the other server room is starting to heat up too.
-
Got my morning caffeine syringe from my dealer and I'm dicking around with a vultr instance until I have to go to a meeting.

I told it to fill zero's on the destination anytime it had something unreadable on the source.
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdf bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progressThe
convswitch is the magic here.
noerrrormeans do not stop on error.
syncmeans to fill zeros in the destination on read error. The point of it is to keep the file allocation table correct. -
I win! (f0 r3@lz this time)
Found this in our Windstream T1 contract.
Within "Addendum to customer service agreement"
Auto Renewal:
The following shall be inserted in lieu of sentence two 2) of CSA Section 1. Term and Renewal:
Upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive month-to-moth terms (each, a "Renewal Term") until terminated or cancelled pursuant to its terms.The original sentence two: Upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, (each, a "Renewal Term") until terminated or cancelled pursuant to its terms.
I'm sure there will be other gotchas to find as I look at how to leave them, but discovering that made for a nice Monday morning.

Vultr seems to be the topic of the day.

It can do a lot! I had mine done up with a network map and a slide show that rotated out various pages / items we monitored at my last job.

This is what your legal department is for. If you don't have one, whoever signed this acted as teh attorney and is responsible for reading it and noting these things.

Fixing this:

In case anyone is wondering how, here are the steps I use:- Do:
Net stop wsusservice
IISReset /Stop
IISReset /Start
Net start wsusservice - Then (if that fails):
C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>WsusUtil.exe postinstall
Also, you can check the application pool for wsus and increase memory if you have a lot of clients. Details: https://www.404techsupport.com/2016/03/21/iis-wsus-private-memory/
Also, while writing this, I fixed the reset server node error and my wsus is running fine now.
