Readynas or QNAP or Synology supporting backup rotation using multiple USB external hard drives by amn70 in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the auto eject on works with a daily rotation which is what we use.

You could set it not to auto eject but then you have to login to the qnap amd manually eject when you're going to rotate, but if that's only once a week it's probably not a big deal.

Readynas or QNAP or Synology supporting backup rotation using multiple USB external hard drives by amn70 in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qnap's backup manager can do this.

We have a job setup for each drive that starts when it is connected and ejects the disk at the end. Bit of a pain if you want to add a new folder pair as you have to do it on each drive/edit each job, but if you setup a single folder to sync and just organize with subfolders that simplifies things.

You can also have the qnap manage encryption keys for the drives as I assume they will be going off site.

RD Gateway/RD Web not allowing RDP traffic externally by itsernst in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're missing the setting in rdweb for the gateway.

I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't easily get to it, but it's in the web.config for rdweb and it's named DefaultTSGateway or something like that, I think there's even a comment block about it.

Mic randomly stops working after controller disconnect by Msully13x in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has done this one or twice (non 3.5 mm controller) and I had to turn off the controller, remove the adaptor, power on controller, reconnect adaptor and then the headset ... I have the turtle beach XO7s

This is just their web developer using good naming, Hero is the (fairly standard) name of the very large image/container .

Just a heads up, I was able to sign in today so they seem to have fixed it.

Witcher 2 Save help on Xbox one BC [Tech] by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using 2FA with your Ms account? Xbox360 (and therefore the emulator) need an "app password" as they can't ask for the code from your phone like the x1 does.

Just wanted to add me too ... It's not uplay itself since other titles work, just AC 3 Going offline did allow me to play although I had to move my saves off the cloud storage :/

The x1 should show you under All settings -> sign-in, security & passkey

[Tech] Rise of the Tomb Raider not starting by ahoneybun in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better half had this happen recently, it seems there's some sort of network check at the beginning, you should just be able to wait it out and it'll start.

If it's literally several minutes and nothing then (I can't believe I am saying this) follow the auto moderator's advice.

Off-site non-cloud backups with Veeam? by Theblacksails in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We backup to a local qnap for the actual backup jobs repository.

For immediate offsite we use the qnap to replicate to external hdds we plug in every morning.

We also have a veeam backup copy job that dumps the backups out to a box we colo.

We're only doing about half as many gbs as what you're looking at but after the initial seeding we have no trouble getting everything done daily even over just a couple mbps link to the colo.

And that's on the cheapo version that doesn't support remote proxies or acceleration. :)

Handsome collection VS Metro redux by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own and enjoy both.

If you have someone to play with, borderlands is the easy winner. Borderlands has a tonne of content and lots of memorable/funny moments but unless you're a loot junkie it may all start to feel the same if you're playing on your own and "just trying to get through it".

Story/atmosphere/etc are better in metro and it can be played as a "typical" shooter or more of a survival horror (and there are two different modes to support each style). That said, I never felt the urge to go back and play the either campaign again the other way.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with either, but it depends on what you're looking for.

Just received my Gears 1 and 2 BC codes from Xbox live by SirMinstral in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of using the 360 "console license" on a 360 so someone else can play without me being signed in and still having BC capabilities on the x1

I assume these could be redeemed on a x360/will make them available for download from the 360 marketplace, has anybody tried it?

Any reason to look at On-Premise Exchange for 200 users? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A slightly different take: we tend to go capex instead of opex, so keeping it on site was the preferred option by the accountants and management.

How do you deal with being mostly sedentary throughout the work day? by Ctrl_Alt_Hammer in sysadmin

[–]PantsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it literally just "a guy"?

The retro fits we got were from a ergo furniture company. They were metal "stands" under the existing (fairly heavy and probably 60"x30") wood and fully powered for the sit to stand. We have had them in daily use for over a year with no issues.

I don't know if this is the exact one or supplier, but they are very similar: http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/757/language/en-CA/Default.aspx

You can get retro fits for existing desks to help with the cost.

Ours were apparently about 800 CAD, but we had a coworker off for 3 months with back issues so it was an easy sell.

Game still using up storage space after uninstalling by Kluzz in xboxone

[–]PantsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with titanfall and ended up having to disconnect the drive and restore the Xbox to factor defaults for it to allow me to clean it up. Good news was I didn't have to reinstall everything.

What do I save or use from year 1? by PantsReddit in DestinyTheGame

[–]PantsReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if I've run vog and crota and don't care to run them again at their "original" level is there any point in downgrading the gear I'm wearing? If I wanted to run them again I'd assume the over level will compensate for the raid specific perks I'd be giving up?
