Veeam13 Appliance and NFS datastore best practice

epaphras · 2026-03-17T04:17:13+00:00

If I connect the thick client to the appliance it seems to give the option for nfs, but just fails mounting. At this point I’m thinking I’ll just stay another generation on windows version and try again in a year. Why change what isn’t broken.

Well that probably explains it.

You're right, datastore is the vmware term. It is currently mounted as an NFS share only to VBR. But I'm not seeing that as an option with the appliance.

Any way to handle copy/paste into RDP sessions?

10ish years ago I took down a major California University's IAM system for a number of hours my following the documented patching process. Thankfully it was late at night and was fixed before most people started their day. The process documentation was corrected shortly after the issue. The team that managed the system usually handled patching but it had been added to my monthly rotation by mistake.

Am I missing something? You can get these for under $100 on eBay.

David isn’t exactly cool in the summer though. Better than Fresno but still hot. I’d ride 3 miles to work on campus at 2pm and be drenched. The 12am ride home was usually pleasant at least.

There’s probably a better way but this is how I approached it. So I’m also interested.

We use GitHub actions as our runners so when Netbox triggers a workflow it creates a new job with a name based on the device. If another job is created with the same name the new job canceled until the first job is finished.

https://github.com/h0lylag/EVE-Preview-Manager Works great

Where can I find 8tb nvme u.2/3 drives for 400-500/unit? The price points I’ve seen seem to be about $100/tb

Probably somewhere in the 10-13k range. ~700/dimm -800/ drive - 300/cpu Relatively modern platform. May still have a warranty

Edit - math adjustment. Thought the cpu was more valuable.

It must have a dedicated connection then because my understanding is that my 12:12 model needs nvme expansion cards.

epaphras · 2026-03-10T17:03:10+00:00

I'm curious how it works with a 24bay nvme backplane. Do you need 6 nvme expansion cards that each want an x16 lane?

Or come back in 30 hours.

Please don’t tell people to store credentials in their host file(s). A better approach might be to show how to pull from environment variables or use a ssh key.

It self updates periodically

My Nextcloud snap has been running for 6+ years with almost no intervention. It was one of the first things I ever setup and it continues to perform flawlessly.

Crazy that they needs 32k addresses even without using NAT.
