Family Backups
Question 3 kids in school and a MumAll use computers all have file/pictures etc.
They all need Office and some way of "backing up" their files.Would you be happy enough to just use Office365 yearly/monthly plan with OneDrive and use that as a Backup/Storage (so if the computer fails the files are still there).
Or would you "double" up and use something like BackBlaze to do a backup of all the data as well?

Really depends on what the stuff is. You've got two copies already, so unless it's like critical financial data or something. Probably not.

Yeah, with the new O365 personal plan for $99/year, you should really be covered..
-
@jaredbusch @scottalanmiller yeah that's what was thinking.
What about photos? My mum has 100's of photos ok only 20-30gb but I'd prefer them not to be on the laptop once "backed up/sync'd" so would you trust OneDrive and Microsoft or upload to another cloud or even back to good old USB external drive?
-
O365 is great. I've lost my physical drive with all that data on. No problem, got a new one and resync. I accidentally deleted data in OneDrive... No problem, recycle bin and versioning.
I have hundreds of thousands of family photos and videos, as well as important documents, and some vital DB and compressed data backups of my web servers and such.

I use Flickr for that. It's free.
-
@hobbit666 Google Photos would be free as well, depending on the camera used to take the pictures, it may not be original quality. As @scottalanmiller mentioned, Flicker is also free, and I don't think it has the same limitations.
-
Migrating all my photos and videos to a central server in my house. Then going to setup duplicati to backup to either remote storage at my office, Backblaze, or perhaps OneDrive

I got two web pages on the same "page" in Firefox, which a sliding divider I can move up and down to see one or the other. No idea how I did it or what it is. Super handy, but bizarre and unexpected.

If I knew how, I'd not be so confused!

Poking around my OSTicket install to try to figure out why Apache is serving up a default page rather than the OSTicket installer.

osticket.domain.com or domain.com/osticketI'm doing the former. I figured out the problem. I needed to install the

Fedora. I've confirmed that OSTicket won't function with PHP 7.1. Trying PHP 7.0 now.

That might not be a problem when 1.11 rc1.

Hopefully not. Install php 7.0 seemedto fix fixed 1.10.4. With php 7.1, the OSTicket install was fine, but the problem was I couldn't log into the administration panel afterward. The error that would appear in the browser was "Valid CSRF token is required." A little Googling lead me to php being the cause of the problem.

That's the error I was getting so I just went with CentOS at that time.
