Is this how S-Rex was born?

First thought: Potty Plotter How-To

Maybe a potty how to, too!

The data is important.I have googled for this issue,the information states that the issue may with MBR of the Windows8?

If it was important we would presume that he has backups and, of course, would have taken a backup before installing Windows 8. Is just restoring the data from backup not an option?

Welcome to @AshleyJR that I just met in the trolling thread

Fun sized.

Happy Birthday to Sean

Dell 730 servers, HP MSA SAN's , 5 VM's on each, and only about 1/3 of each SAN used.

Did they give any indication as to why they chose two SANs for that load? Like were they trying to spread out the performance?

@stacksofplates that needs a message on it, like "Curtis Approves of This Solution"

The HTML5 based option, though, is pretty interesting.

Collaboration is coming to LibreOffice also. I for get where I read it, but I think it was a thread hear a year or two ago.

That's going to be awesome.

@RojoLoco Very nice.

You didn't mention what operating system or applications that you are backing up, but assuming that you are on Windows, I think that CloudBerry does what you want, but have no idea about deleting things automatically.

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Had two salads today. That is all.

I am so sorry.

TNTDrive seems to let you mount as a local drive which would allow you to script your backup process yourself with PowerShell.

@zuphzuph said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Waiting for Veeam support to call me yet again. Full backups aren't being deleted on a couple jobs and yes, they're configured properly.

Again? Are you having regular issues?

@todd-at-xByte said in Dell PERC Question (Server Down):

I'm coming late into this thread and I'm having problems discerning exactly what the issue is right now.

From what I could tell, the issue is that Edge does not respond.

Good luck and stay safe!

@iroal said in Tool to Backup Files to Amazon S3:

Are this tools valid for Amazon Glacier too?

Sometimes, but not necessarily. The API is shared but not all tools are set up for it.

Looks interesting. And a perfect topic for the WC!

Can you migrate the extensions? Definitely. Is there a tool for that, no I don't think so. I think that you have to migrate those by hand. But if you are going to implement the high cost, high complexity Skype for Business unified messaging platform you don't want to be in the business of supporting both Elastix as well as Skype for Business as well as a complex integration between them. That's just a lot of work when Skype for Business will do everything that you want in a single package. Far less to maintain, less to break and less to have to figure out.

Skype for Business is rather different than Elastix, so moving everyone over manually is almost certainly needed. How many extensions do you have?

Would that be "risk of being at risk"? And if so, isn't that just... risk?

Yep, for sure. I know that my dad's pacemaker is programmable along with the contactless charging, tho to do either, you have to place something directly over the control unit on his chest. I'd be more than a little peed off if they made them able to use bluetooth.

What limits that range? We've seen all kinds of range extension attacks as of late (well actually for a while now). If it uses radio, how are you not pretty much screwed..

Have you ever used the contactless charging? I refuse to call it wireless charging, because it just will not work without being within millimeters of the charging device. The only communications it does is through the same hall-effect, so no, no "radio".

Yep, I've used that contactless charging before... I thought the field could be amplified to make it work from a larger distance, but I could be mistaken. didn't know you could pass data that way, though I suppose I would be surprised if it couldn't be done.

Amplified, yes. But how does one amplify a pace maker? And the amount of power goes up exponentially. What is 1mw at 1mm might be 100w at 1cm.

The next question is... how long until Linux Mint based on 16.04 releases?
