Why not just install the VeeamEndpoint Client inside of the VM and be done with it? You get both File-Level and Bare Metal level restores with it.
If your VMhost explodes, then you simply create a new VM on another host and restore from backup. Done.

Now I remember why I don't use PuTTY very much. I can't stand the right click to paste .
I love that feature, so fast.
Much faster to ctrl+shift+v. I don't have to move my hands.
I prefer Shift + Insert.
Ah, well that works on PuTTY. Thanks! haha. Every Linux machine I've used ctrl+shift+v has worked in a terminal. I never thought to look for something else.
Depends on where you learned it. 
God, I love Open source, lol. Ask two people "How do I do this?" and get six different answers.

@scottalanmiller Bummer, I can't afford $29/month just for personal use, but I would like to have all the features.
Guess I should have paid up earlier - I always was meaning too, but I kept forgetting
Those features did not exist in the $4 plan, though. That's new stuff that just came out I believe.
You are correct. For those of us who have the $4 plan, as long as we don't cancel, we will get to keep our plan. Fortunately, I trust these guys more than I do Obama. lol.

One thing that may help out ML is that there is no rating system based on number of posts/etc. so you don't have people trying to "move up to the next level" so to speak by posting garbage.
Speak for yourself - I'm trying for first place in the number of posts on ML category.
Though considering Scott has more than 3 times as many posts as me.. probably won't happen in my lifetime.
And for those that don't know... I'm totally joking!
I tihnk @scottalanmiller has more than the rest of us in the top 10 combined, lol.
Nope, the next 8 combines
The gap from 2nd to 3rd is nearly 2 to 1.
Did you include the fact that I'm in first and eleventh places?
no, that would go to the next nine then maybe - I was treating MLNews as it's own thing.
Good, because I'm my own person with my own personality.
@mlnews is a bot... or maybe @scottalanmiller is the bot... but then he posts pictures every now and again... but so does @mlnews.... Maybe one of them is related to Siri, and the other is related to Cortana?

I love The Fifth Element.
I once named every device on a network after 5th Element characters.
And you logged into them with your multipass?
The system was an access contorl system. It ran on a Windows NT4 Server with SQL Sever and NT4 desktops for creating the badges and the security guards to monitor.
So it was sort of creating multipasses.
excitedly holds up small card with my picture on it...Multipass!

I'm looking for an adapter or power cord that will allow me to plug a regular North American plug into a PDU powerstrip in our APC cages. I'm not even sure what to call it, but my googlefu has given me many things I do not want (luckily nothing that would get me fired).
Something like this?

The issue comes from the mindset of no child left behind, college is the "dream" a better life by being educated.
People confuse education at college, and education from the workforce.
You can get a great education by working at an electricians for example, and become a licensed electrician in only 2 years, while getting paid to be there the entire time.
In college, you pay to be there, are forced to study things which likely have no real world bearing on your future career and are often saying "WTF am I doing here this is STUPID"
Yes aren't motivated to go find a job.
I'd argue that those other things have a lot more value then the actual career training you get from college. An intermediate economics and psychology course can go a long way. If you want to be formally educated for education sake then those courses are fantastic. College is good for that but not good for career advancement and expertise, unless it is a requirement for those careers.
My point about the No child left behind initiative is that some children will grow up to not be educated, no matter what.
I'm not saying to just cut them lose, but I am recommending that some form of trade school replaces primary schooling when it becomes apparent that a "normal" education isn't working.
Even trade school is a waste to a huge percentage of the population. Think about all of the people who will never do anything more than flipping burgers - they would benefit most by not wasting time in school and starting to earn a living earlier. The earning potential of a burger flipper goes way up if they start doing so at age 14 instead of at age 22. That's a huge amount of "putting money away for their future" potential, especially if they still lived at home without expenses until they were eighteen.
The trouble here is that no 14 year old knows that they are only going to have the potential to flip burgers their entire life.
Everyone hopes to do more, so to take away that chance isn't fair.
Tons know. I'd guess by far most of them know. I knew tons of people in high school that knew perfectly well that middle school was the "peak" of their careers, that they had Petered out (via the Peter Principle) and that what they were able to do at that age (short of heavy lifting items) was all that they would ever be able to do.
The difference between knowing and accepting are completely different. If I knew at 14 I was only going to be able to flip burgers for the rest of my life I would've just ended it.
I never had a burger job, but knew I'd hate it if I had.

Is there a reason for the social stigma against minimum wage earners? Is it the same in other countries?
I don't think so and I think all Americans should be forced to work minimum wage jobs. It's important in learning how to work, how other people work, learning to respect each other, learning why employment laws exist, learning why unions are agents of big business, etc.
Now this I can get behind.
I would suggest similar miles in other shoes - what choices other professions have to make constantly would be an eye-opener.
I like what was done at my last job. When I first got there, I was taken to each department and shadowed them for an hour or a day and asked them questions and let them ask some of their own (about IT stuff)... It was a real eye opener.
You probably need to be sure of the voltage coming into whatever it is you need that for... Don't want to hook it up to a PDU putting out 208V if you only have a 110V device.
@Nic said in Which comes first Laws or Lawyers:
What about the pirate's code, where there are laws that are commonly recognized, but no rulers and no politicians? Anarchism.
It's not really a code... It's more like... guidelines.
Here's the long thread about it from when I originally set it up...
Hi All,
I just got tasked with pricing out a NAS or storage server... The starting size is ~10TB and room for growth (how much / how fast the growth will be is not clear right now).
I'm currently pricing out a Synology Rackstation with 12 x 6TB Drives in RAID 10.
Are the Synology NAS systems good for a build that "big"?
I haven't looked at QNAP for one that large yet, but we have a 2Bay QNAP that runs pretty good, so they are next on my list to check.
After some thinking, I was wondering if it might not be more economical to build a SAM-SD for this...
@mlnews said in How Best to Present External Video Series:
Wanting to make some stuff available easily to people without leaving MangoLassi. Was going to post Prof. Messer's YouTube video series on the Network+ and was wondering how best to do that. One post with 150+ videos in it would be annoying. A thread with 150 videos, one right after another, would be okay if no one posts in the middle and would be super awkward if anyone wanted to discuss them. One hundred and fifty posts would allow for direct commentary and questions, and a table of contents page would make it easy to navigate.
Thoughts?
Why not a link that heads to the Youtube Playlist?
That way we can have the discussions without having to worry about anyone breaking up the videos?

Hopefully he is charged with the texting and driving crime. It is pretty strict in NY.
But he wasn't texting. He was distracted. The texting law is a weird one that suggests that the distracted law has no teeth or that texting is not a distraction. NY has always had a no distracted driving law and that's what applies here.
Yeah the UK law is that you cannot use a mobile phone while driving, no exceptions etc, just straight up nope.
As it should be.
