Get a separate box to run veeam for vm backups then use a cloud service to offsite your veeam backups.

Works like a charm. Though Im not hot on crashplan myself, I have other offsite backup hosts.

I run Veeam locally and then use Azure storage sync to get my backups into Azure.

I even do test restores directly from azure storage over smb and it works fine.

Thanks, this was helpful. I'm going to do Veeam to onsite storage and then CrashPlan the critical/finance stuff offsite rather than the whole machine(s).

I need to put in a UPS in a tiny office. Are there any good 1-2U UPS appliances? In place: 1 firewall, 1 WAP, 1 server doing DNS/DHCP/SMB file share (it's running on a desktop lol) I'd really only need enough juice to power this for 15 minutes.

we usually get apc smartups but idk if there's something better I should be looking at

I usually buy APC or Tripplite for 1-4U. They all equally suck (fail without warning etc)

Be careful because a lot of small UPSes are really deep for some reason, or they are shallow but to rack them needs a rail kit that requires a deep rack.

The Eaton Ellipse Pro is a small unit but you can get a rack kit for it that is shallow.

PSA with some poo poo I'm reading in SMBs suddenly woke about GDPR

Don't let anyone tell you GDPR is an IT problem. It isn't. It's a process control problem. A business process problem. How to devise and enforce policy minimizing customer data retention is up to management, tracking down who is using what data is up to each C exec within his/her responsibility, reporting on that data is up to a relationship between those data consumers and your devs, and finally deletion may involve your assistance with orchestration tools to go and pick EU Citizen Jesus H Christ's data out of backups or ensure any recovery process includes a subsequent removal of Christ's data in live systems.

Don't let the entire business make this an IT problem.

If you allow users to touch computers, you're probably non-compliant.

Pretty much. I mean I think Microsoft finally addressed HIPAA in Windows 10 in December 2017?

I just tried my best to control what I could realistically control and CYAed everything else as much as possible.

Nobody gives a poo poo about much of US law because by and large it goes unenforced. You give a drat of you work with the DoD. You pretend to if you work in healthcare with a lot of smoke/mirrors/theory.

Thinking the same of EU political will to wield GDPR as a weapon is a good way to find yourself selling to a competitor in a few years.

I mean, if you want took at a market 5% larger than the US and think "nah they're commies" because you can't be arsed to pony up some dev cash, I hope you're comfortable about your niche right up to the point someone who did pushes you out domestically.

This isn't a low margin sector, and the tooling and business processes involved with GDPR compliance aren't exactly at odds with fostering good business intelligence systems or DFIR either.

If you've made the jump to gdpr, you've also made the bed for good insight into your actual business process. That's money, fuckos.

I agree 100% but quoted that because the shortsightedness and lack of business awareness made me laugh. Plus I never considered geofencing an international customer base, which is kind of original I think

'Make a reasonable eula and fix our business and software so we can be transparent to customers about their data and be GDPR compliant? Nah, let's just ignore 550 million potential users and boot the ones we already had'

we might, especially in the real businesses group you mention. They’ll be forced to do GDPR properly due to their size and they have the capacity for it. I think it’s more likely that the second category you mention is still going to be there and equally big, flying under the radar. There’s so many of those that they’re only going to get in trouble after some security incident arises because the chance of running into proactive auditing is so slim. pretty much the way things are currently, except the consequences of not doing things Right are worse
