I recently (once) drank two cups in one morning.
Might not seem like a big deal, except that I didn't drink coffee until this past week.
Welcome to the family!

Takes an awful lot of coffee to get you drunk!!

Ohh hahaha That's it?
@scottalanmiller is that true?

Good morning all. Lots of SpiceWorld planning going on here today.

Trying to figure out how to get out of the ProxMox trap I'm stuck in.

@johnhooks Make backups with $favoriteBackupApp and restore to Hyper-V or XenServer?
I'm trying to get RemoteApps to deploy... It's going... slowly.
-
@dafyre That's the rub. Their backup system uses .vma, which won't convert to anything. I'll have to shut everything down, move the raw files to something else and then reinstall. I started with it because you just pop in the ISO and 20 mins later you have the hypervisor with a nice web interface and automated backups. I didn't realize what I was getting into when I used it, or how they approached everyone in other forums.

I haven't had a lot of luck with RemoteApps by themselves. I've found that third party program works much better.

You can do that with pretty much every hypervisor, except the backup part... that would be third party application.

@coliver It was just nice that it was all packaged together, my laziness (and ignorance) got the best of me.

Ah I see. Well since it is KVM under the hood I wonder if something like this would help: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2015/06/22/handy-tool-for-converting-kvm-vmware-images-to-hyper-v.aspx

@coliver Thanks! I'm trying to decide whether I want to stay on KVM (I'd just use CentOS, ProxMox doesn't use libvirt), Xen, Hyper-V, or try something like oVirt.

XenServer is my personal favorite I've been using it my home lab since... 2008. Super easy to use and open source if that is what you are after.
Hyper-V is what I use here. Free and easy to use... the new version that is coming out seems to have Linux virtualization in its sights.
-
@coliver That's good. I was leaning away from Hyper-V because all of our stuff is Linux. I had looked at XenServer but when I set everything up about 1.5 years ago, the only thing I could find for an interface was either XenCenter (Windows) or Xen Orchestra, which was a steep $70 a month for backups and importing/exporting vms with their interface.
However, I've been trying to force myself away from interfaces so that might work out well.
