I guess everyone is downloading. It's running slow on the DL speeds for me. haha.
Pretty sure tons of people are. It's gone out to ML and Twitter already and there is a packed room of people at SpiceWorld discussing it. Most of them have laptops so there are a lot of people grabbing it.

Download speeds are all over the place.... Maybe it's popular?

That would be my guess.

Well yeah. I'd love to see a list of the concurrent downloads

That'd be a great marketing tool!

So you no longer delpoy the OVF directly.. You even get to set options before it is even deployed. More Screenshots coming.

Looks like you don't need to even add local space directly to the UEB anymore if you are using some kind of network storage for backups which is nice (aside from the OS space of course)

That would be great for installing to a VM and having backups go to a NAS device or something out on the network.

What connection options exist? Haven't had a chance to install to look yet. NFS, CIFS, iSCSI?

All the above I believe.

Nice, that is quite flexible.

Wow, this is very cool. I have a question, though. I understood everything else in the description, but what's a socket?

Processor socket I assume. How many physical processors can be on a machine.

I'll be testing it out within a few days. this whole packing the house to move thing is highly disruptive.Full disclosure: I have always used Veeam over Unitrends for the paid solutions due to pricing.
This may well disrupt that. Almost 100% of my client base will not need more than 1 TB of backup storage.
Agreed, I have client that I will be able to move them away from a secondary machine they currently use to backup their VM host with Veeam. Now to see how it handles rotating NAS storage devices.

This is the only way I can use something like this. The cost of storage inside the host would be to expensive for me.

In what manner do you wish to rotate them? It's not common to rotate NAS.
-
@coliver Okay, that's what I was thinking it probably meant, but I'm not always up on the lingo. Like every time @scottalanmiller says "ack" to me I think he's complaining, but he's actually using it as "acknowledge".

You could Archive with an external Device. But, not sure how you'd do that with a NAS. Too many variable to keep backups reliable there.
