Mr. Clark2 posted:Backup question: Veeam is shockingly useful for this exact thing. The completely free version does disk to tape and disk to disk to tape backups. I use it for backing up all my personal poo poo to tape, and once you get it set up right, it's pretty painless to deal with. Just make sure your SQL database isn't on C, because backing up millions of files makes the database bloat up amazingly fast.

myron cope posted:We use Veeam at work to replicate VMs from one site to the other. I don't administer Veeam and the guy who does keeps saying he'll check and never does. The question is can Veeam handle replicating a VM with Raw Device Mapped drives? Load the Veeam agent on the VM itself, then do a file level backup? I'm not sure if it's able to more elegantly handle them.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:What about having her swap in an alternate drive periodically? Would I need to (or be able to) setup a second backup job that points to the other drive? Never do this, because it never happens. I tried that, it never worked, as they always forgot about it. A cloud backup is probably the fastest/easiest way to just get it all backed up.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Under other circumstances I would happily just let an internet backup service handle it, but her DSL connection's upstream is way too slow to rely on, especially as she doesn't like leaving her computer on unless she's using it. I know at least one of the backup places lets you pre-seed the backup from a HDD they mail you.
