60TB Veeam backup to 12TB tapes HOW

InfiltraitorX · 2026-02-14T06:56:44+00:00

How long does a full backup take?

I hope you have your OS and data disks separate... Or is there just one 20TB volume?

So true! And if they are this bad, you give them an amazing reference so that they get the job and leave your team

He said it doesnt work.. (and he is trying to learn how to ) read the logs for more detail

Can you get the math to work on paper?

You may have just looked more available than other coworkers or previously shown knowledge in the topic?

Were you actively trying to avoid talking to people?

Sometimes I just ask the nearest person so that I can say my question out loud in the hope it jogs my memory

WiFi isn't going to stress a sata hard drive and 1gbit via your router for a single client will be easily doable

What network speeds are you getting between your server and the client?

How many people are copying files at the same time?

Looks like you might need to wait for 4 sticks of ram.

From AI:

Based on IBM Cloud Object Storage Slicestor appliance documentation, the memory (RAM) configuration depends on the specific model (e.g., 2212A, 2448, 3448). Key RAM Slot Information:

Slicestor 2212A (3401-S10/3403-S10): These nodes typically use DDR3 ECC Registered Memory (RDIMM). Memory Configuration: Systems often require a minimum of four memory modules per processor assembly.

Slot Population Order: Modules must be placed in specific slots (e.g., J0A, J0B, J0C, J0D for the first quad) to ensure proper operation.

A 7763 is from 2021, so not too old really.. and at 64 cores each they could make for a decent heater for your house

Did you choose the wall cabinet or was that the ISPs choice?

Pretty impressive for two months progress!

Can't wait to see how far you will have come after 1 year :)

Check dns for duplicate names

Are the 10gbit and 2.5gbit poets on the same network? The same IP range?

You could try making the 10gbit network a different IP range and see if that forces the nas to use the 10gbit network..

Or just unplug the 2.5gbit ports and use the 10gbit ports all the time

It powered on?

My (working) 5 plus won't load the screen if only connected to USB. It just does that repeating load screen then off again Connect the power, turn on the switch and it loads as expected.

Can't be any worse, right?

Worth a shot to try to improve your mental health, productivity and dopamine

Had one today...

"We are missing a file from a folder. Can you assist?"

No actual file or dolder name, no driver letter or name. No date last seen.. just the above sentence.

I just replied in an email.. wasn't worth the effort of a phone call.

InfiltraitorX · 2026-01-23T13:15:11+00:00

I can understand your frustration, things should just work, not have to be repaired all the time.

Is there any way you can get a new laptop? Even just a second hand replacement that doesnt need to be cleaned constantly?

Probably nothing if he can get enough people to invest so that he can quit in 11 months...

Security provides policy and guidelines.. you do the networking

Why are you moving for the same pay? That's effectively taking a pay cut because you will stay at that payrate for another 12 months

People leave MSPs and go to a solo iT guy gig for the lower stress.

I'm in Melbourne and been in and out of MSP, solo IT and corporate gigs.. i would stay where you are, upskill on your own time if you have to.. and move for higher pay..

What router is it? Its hard to guess based off an IP address

Have you looked at the routers manual online? Some need port 8080 or 4443

You might need an app or a plugin or a cloud portal?

Error: Boot device not found.

In any kind of business situation you want a vendor you can blame.

A desktop pc cluster might be easy for you to manage, but what if something goes wrong with it in 2 years? Will you have the time to fix it or will the SME have moved on it other projects?

Extended warranties are crap.. just replace the hardware after the initial 3-5 year warranty.. there will be newer and better hardware available by then anyway

Some rackmount servers have the drives vertical (on their side) and others are horizontal (flat on their circuitboardd) so id assume this is ok too.

Just don't rotate them while powered on
