We're glad to hear that you're so excited about this new option! The new deployment option will allow you to deploy on Linux instead of just VMware or Hyper-V, as we've offered for the last few years. If you've been around awhile, you may remember that when both hypervisors allowed for tape archiving,, UEB was tape compatible. Since neither seemed to be opening this up again, we developed the ability to deploy on Linux just to meet this need. Please let me know what questions you may have.

Even if Spiceworks isn't quite your thing today, many of us have benefited in some way from a Spiceworks program at some point, and more importantly, probably know someone who was affected, so keep your eyes open for job opportunities that you can share with these former Spiceworks employees to help them get back on their feet soon.

We used the exact same type of expense reporting that you are using now before we moved to Concur at least 3 years ago. It's definitely easier to keep up with my expenses when I'm traveling with Concur vs trying to remember to retain every receipt on long trips since I can just upload a photo of each receipt to the app, and create an expense entry on the fly. Our accounting team seems to prefer this method over the old physical paper method as well since it's easier to read and account for specific types of expenses.

Admins can alter the settings so that certain fields are required on specific expense types, like names of attendees at a business lunch, and explanations can be required when an expense type is above the budgeted amount.

I know that you can export a copy of your expense report, and there are ways to export the entire org's data, but you should probably work with Concur to determine what the limitations of this are.

@Minion-Queen Can't wait to see everyone in just a few days. I hope to be able to join y'all for at least one beer.

As others have mentioned (thanks guys!), our Untirends Free only protects VMware, Hyper-V, & Windows clients, however our paid editions start at $299, which is a one time cost, and includes the 1st year of support. After the initial year, the only costs that you'll have going forward will be for support, which includes tech support & all software updates. This post about our updated XenServer protection went up on our blog yesterday. Please let me know what questions you may have.

Hey folks! Unitrends is giving away a $150 Amazon Gift Card to someone who lets us know that they're following us on LinkedIN, Twitter, etc. The more networks you're following us on, the more chances you have to win.

And to sweeten the deal, the 1st 500 people who enter the contest will also get a Tile Mate, which is one of those cool bluetooth trackers that you can attach to almost anything - your wallet, your keys, or even your dog - so that you can find it when you lose it. It's kind of like a backup for your memory.

Let me know what questions you may have, and good luck on getting your hands on one of those Tile Mates.

And don't forget to enter to win here.

I think of copies and backups like this: a backup is a conscious effort to protect your data, while a copy is just a duplicate of your data. Backups are most likely run on a regular schedule, and offer some way to easily restore the data when needed, as well as check to make sure that they're working correctly..You may be diligent enough to copy your files after each change, but most likely,you're not. If you don't make a new copy with each change, or even once daily, how useful is a copy if you need to restore from it? Also, how do you check to ensure that the copy hasn't been corrupted?

@jrc I'm sorry that you're having this issue. We are committed to the success of all of our users, including those protecting XenServer. How can I help?

I've definitely been guilty of a few of those. Makes me feel better that I'm not alone

There will be a special new free version available,which includes HTML5 - you can sign up for it here> http://go.unitrends.com/Freedom2015.

We will not be releaseing the HTML5 GUI in the appliances until later this year since we want to make sure that all the kinks are worked out first.

Please let me know what questions you may have.

@Minion-Queen The food from all of those places is worth every calorie, I promise

Sorry for the late response from us on this. The 1TB license includes the data that you're protecting, not the data that you're retaining. This means that if you have a 1TB VM that you only want to protect a few specific files which take up about 500GB, as long as you've setup the exclusions for the initial backup, you will only have used 500GB of the available 1TB of protection. If you forget to setup the exclusions before the initial backup, then your entire license will be used on this single client, and it's probably best to scrap this installation & start over. Please let me know if this answers your questions.

@nadnerB I like what you did there.

Ran across the following the other day on this page:

Free Upgrade
Limited Time Offer: As part of our continued commitment to making backup easier, we are unifying our software products. As a first step in this process, now Unitrends Virtual Backup users can get a free upgrade to Unitrends Enterprise Backup. Future versions of Unitrends data protection software will combine the enterprise-class engine in Unitrends Enterprise Backup and an enhanced version of the user interface of Unitrends Virtual Backup v8.

I assume this will eventually be available in the "free" version. Anyone know for sure? @KatieUnitrends

Unitrends Virtual Backup(UVB), Unitrends Enterprise Backup (UEB) and UnitrendsFree are three different products. The offer you mention above is for paid users of UVB only. Also, as has been stated a few times in this thread, UnitrendsFree is only licensed to protect VMware & Hyper-V clients. Please let me know what questions you may have.

@jrc Jarrod - I'm sorry that the techs that you've worked with have made you feel this way. I'm looking into your cases to understand what has happened so far (since i was out on maternity leave for 3 months until just a few weeks ago), and will see what other options we have.

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies! We look forward to being a part of this new community!

Banana Republic. I had a horrible manager who was mentally unstable, and was essentially emotionally abusing others. She played favorites, and figured out ways to sabotage others so that she could continue to get promotions. After I realized that I was assigned 30% of the closing shifts, which meant that I worked from 1pm-10pm 4 of my 5 scheduled days a week, I started looking for a new job. She's still working for the company, and to this day, it amazes me that she has a job.

@ajstringham Thanks for posting about this. Will you let me know if you run into any challenges?

Stop in Asheville on your way out of NC for lunch - you won't be disappointed. A few of my favorites are:

• Tupelo Honey (go to the one in South Asheville - they take reservations, there's usually not that long of a wait as compared to the one downtown, and it's just off of 1-40)

• 12 Bones Smokehouse - Amazing BBQ with locations in the River Art's District or Arden, which is just off of 1-40

• Papa's & Beer - Delicious traditional Mexican joint

• Salsa's - Fresh, Mexican & Carribean fusion restaurant - menu changes daily, and I've never had a bad meal there.

There's also a number of local breweries (Sierra Nevada, LAB, Highland), and a rocking music and art scene, as well as easy access for hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Travel safe!

Rob - Thanks for using Unitrends. What model Unitrends appliance do you have? Is it one of the newer ones that can be used for instant recovery of VMware & Windows clients? If so, you may want to work with support to adjust your retention settings so that you can allocated resources on the appliance for failover. Please let me know what questions I can answer for you about this.
