    • RE: PC Matic

      @scottalanmiller said in PC Matic:

      Just looking at their website, that site has "scam" written all over it. No way that that is something you'd want to install.

      Coincidentally, I recently happened across this discussion over at BleepingComputer. So, while it looks like a scam, smells like a scam and even has a scammy-sounding name, it maybe isn't a scam. That said, scam or not, it's certainly not a product I'd use.

    • RE: SMB NAS

      @BBigford said in SMB NAS:

      Yes, I know I'm breaking the rules by having everything under one roof. 😐

      You could set it to back up to Glacier - there's an app for that! - or even sync the important stuff with Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive. This way, you'd have the benefits of offsite plus the RTO/RPO benefits of local). And, depending on how much data you have, it'd likely be a reasonably cheap combo.

      You may like to check out our fire- and waterproof Synology-based NAS too. Depending on your needs, they could either be a good fit or overkill. Link

      I don't claim to be any sort of expert- I haven't sampled too many varieties - but, of those I have sampled, Ardbeg Uigeadail is definitely my favourite (and it's less than $100).

    • RE: Meet our new product: the ioSafe BDR 515

      @travisdh1 Yup, that's basically how it works. The insulating material is water-based and converts to steam during a fire, resulting in an endothermic cooling action. Additionally, the steam is forced out of the events which prevents heat from entering the unit. As for waterproofing, the drives are simply in a sealed box that relies on finned walls to conduct heat away during normal operation.

    • RE: Meet our new product: the ioSafe BDR 515

      @scottalanmiller The BDR 515 is an entire Windows installation as a standard server. The BMC feature has full console redirection and can be used as a method to replicate full keyboard/mouse/monitor functions on the network. Remote desktop can also be enabled as a service if you desire but it is not enabled by default. On the ioSafe Cloud: the partner manages the ioSafe Cloud target system via VPN/dedicated IP address into the remote system via remote desktop or even though the BMC – all traffic is pulled through an encrypted VPN tunnel.

      @scottalanmiller To be clear, the 515 is not a NAS (it runs Windows Service, our NAS run DSM).

    • RE: Meet our new product: the ioSafe BDR 515

      @travisdh1 The BDR 515 is intended to be a SMB appliance and has been specified accordingly, taking into account recommendations from our software partner. The i5 was the right combination of pricing and performance for the typical SMB customer. That said, if you'd like something bigger and better, let us know - we're always open to ideas! The 515 is actually quite different to the 1515+: the former runs Synology DSM, the latter runs Windows Server and is designed to be powerful enough for SME’s to virtualize the primary server on-prem if required. The contract includes a variety of things: StorageCraft licensing, support, replication to ioSafe cloud, etc. You can, of course, opt out of these and run it simply as a server box and replicate however you choose.

    • Meet our new product: the ioSafe BDR 515

      Hi all,

      We announced a new product today: the ioSafe BDR 515 - a fire- and waterproof Backup and Disaster Recovery Appliance that combines physical protection for on-prem data with the benefits of the cloud. Rather than posting the specs here, I'll simply provide a couple of links:

      Feel free to ask any questions.

      Cheers!

      for example : X send email to A and B and C ....only A have this issue

      So, the question then is how do A's settings differ from B and C's? In particular, look at the language, formatting and font settings. Also check whether A has any Outlook add-ins installed than B and C do not - especially antivirus add-ins.

      all the users have kaspersky spam filtering add-in

      Check A's language and font settings to see how they differ from B and C's.

      @Dashrender said:

      Would you please post a single post that is what your proposal is and the specific use case?

      Full charge and discharge, same as has always been the standard for these types of batteries going back decades. Always charge to 100%, never stop part way, and run down as low as you can before plugging in. Apple recommends this too but says it is only necessary about once a month - I say more often is better, trickle charging and little bits here and there cause noticeable drops in battery life in as little as several days of doing so, from what I've seen.

      I claim no expertise, but pretty much everything I've read says the best way to maximize a battery's life expectancy is not to fully charge it and not to fully discharge it either.

      Is there actually a difference? I haven't looked yet. Too much chatter on this forum to use any other browser windows.

      They are the same. Synology makes the guts of both. Same hardware and same software. ioSafe then fireproofs the chassis and adds some extra hardware to make it fire and water proof (not UNDER water proof.)

      Actually. they are UNDERwaterproof and can go up - or should that be "down'? - to 10’ under for 3 days - fresh or salt water.

      Was that always the case or is that an upgrade?

      That's always been the case. And the waterproofing is retained after a fire event so the unit will not be hosed - if you'll pardon the pun - when the fire department start pouring on water.

      It really depends on your requirements and how much data you have.

      Couple hundred GB, max.

      The 415+ was mentioned earlier.

      In that case, the 214 would likely be the way to go: https://iosafe.com/products-2baynas-overview
