I google drive backup a safe backup solution?

Having a nightmare with a server which has a failing hard sisk and is dragging the server down completely to a halt. The worst thing is we added 3 drives to the array and started the expansion just before the drive started alerting. This expansion is going to take weeks, is it possible to remove th failing drive (its not failed yet or I would just tak e it out) mid expansion?

I have a Windows 2016 server and it is running Windows Server Backup on a multiple times a day schedule and dumping the files to a USB drive.  everything is working but what I am trying to figure out is this.  Most backup software will keep x amount of copies on the storage device than then start over writing the oldest FIFO.  There is no way to tell WSB to do this so does it just run until the USB drive is full then crap out or does it run until full then start over writing?

Thanks

Hi Experts,

Suddenly I can not insert new records in a SQL table.

See error attached.

PS. We restarted the server recently, could be that caused the problem?

In addition I realized something strange with this table, when linking it into Access, its showing the wrong field as PK.

As per users, since this problem started (today morning) at one point they were able to add, and now again same issue.

What could these possible be?!


Thanks

Hi All,

We are currently running a VMware environment with SAN as storage. We have two sites, production and disaster recovery. We are currently reviewing our backup site. At the backup site we have another VCenter, physical hosts with enough resources to run production and an equivalent SAN with double the production capacity. Volume replication occurs between the production SAN to DR SAN. We use VEEAM for backups.

We want to be able to use the DR site in the event the production site is unavailable due to disaster as quickly/easily as possible for all network services. Is it better to use VM site recovery or veeam replication. Should we continue to replicate the Volumes from the production SAN to the DR SAN? We also want to be able to recover single server very quickly, ie if our storage server got hit with ransomware we could simply roll it back to a known uninfected time.

Thoughts, suggestions and input very welcome.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi

I have a windows 7 laptop and the laptop was in the domain. I accidentally deleted the computer account in the AD and later on realised i had deleted .
it and tried to rejoin the domain going to workgroup and joined the laptop to work group.

I noticed that my predecessor had created a restricted user account to log into the laptop,  and i can see the local admin account is disabled and  i went to MMC and added local users and groups and when i enable the local admin account, it says access denied.

There are important document on the local hard drive and the laptop hardrive was encrypted with veracrypt.
Now i need to recover these documents which is on another user profile , which is saved on the desktop.

Please let me know how to get access the documents or is there any way to enable the local admin account? so that i can switch user and log in as local admin.

Is there such a thing as a backup software for android, I have my Samsung S9 plus, and am currently using smart switch, which with 78 GB, takes a long time every time I have to backup the complete entire phone. Does someone have software that will do incremental backups on the Samsung phone?

I'm using ROBOCOPY for backing up files across our network from 1USB external hard drive connected to a PC to another USB external hard drive connected to a different PC.
On the source USB external hard drive there are approximately 30 Folders with each holding 30 Subfolders.  Within the 30 subfolders there are hundreds and hundreds of files - mostly Word docs and .pdf files.
The PC that will be "receiving" the Folders/Files from the Source PC is where I'm running Robocopy.
My initial command was:
ROBOCOPY \\SOURCEPC\SHAREDEXTHDD /S /R:1 /W:1 D:
with D: being the external hard drive plugged into the PC receiving the Folders/Files from the Source PC.
This command gave me an exact copy of the USB external hard drive connected to the Source PC.  This process copied over approximately 180 gigs in about 6 hours.
This is an office that will Add or Edit Folders/Files on the Source PC's USB external hard drive daily.
However, I would now like some assistance with a command that will copy ONLY the added or edited Folders/Files on the Source PC's external USB hard drive since the last backup.  That is, at the end of every day, the external USB hard drive that is receiving Folders/Files from the Source PC's USB external hard drive should just "update" it's existing Folder/File structure.

Backups are the same and I'm checking the retention policy to see how far back data is archived. Assuming data may not be available from 12 years ago are these files repairable? Likely a 3rd party app needed, please feel free to share which one's have worked and which ones have not.
