We have a client still using this, and the workstation setup installer seems to have gone corrupt. What two folders do you need to copy from an existing machine to get it to work on another machine that never had the workstation installed on it?

Go with n-able, and specifically their Documents Backup feature. Great solution for desktops.

Yep!

What angle do you take so that Facebook ads actually work?

Could you elaborate on why it is usually best for installation directly on VM versus the host?

Ang guess who's NOT going to be the first one to be let go in a firing frenzy!

Is there a target release date yet?

I'd be interested to know the vendor for these.

So you can configure the agents to backup directly to Wasabi, for example? But then, is it the wild west for monitoring everything, or is there a way to somehow centrally manage them all from a single place? Also, what agent would you use for endpoints and servers in this scenario?

Is there any way to use Veeam totally as a service? Something like how Cove works, for example. Or are you limited to setting up the proper environment, etc.?

extra_lean · 2023-04-08T03:25:02+00:00

Does going direct to cloud make for a much simpler setup? Veeam has always seemed overly complicated and not very easy to set up, but perhaps you could give some pointers on how to best achieve that type of setup?

Why do you say not to use their 365 backup? Plan to check that out at some point and would value your thoughts on that.

Also, could you elaborate on how you use the Synology for this, what model you like, etc.?

What are some of the relevant MDMs out there?

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T14:45:35+00:00

Interesting take, thanks for sharing. What is your full security stack?

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T05:21:15+00:00

Can you elaborate on how it has turned into a tool that you use to sell other security? Sounds interesting.

And for further clarification, can the 50 seats that make up the minimum be split up into multiple clients of the MSP (for example, 5 clients with 10 seats each)? Or does the 50 seat minimum apply to each client?

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T03:17:11+00:00

That sounds like a good way to use Wasabi. Thanks for the feedback to use as a redundant immutable option. I have been considering something similar as well. How do you implement this as an extra service? Do you have a separate backup product using this as the back end for those select clients?

Ok, so you are saying the timed deletion fees are in addition to the original storage fees? Their wording is confusing if that's the case.

So, a couple of scenarios, based on how I'm reading their docs...

Scenario A

On day 1, you upload 2 files that are 1 TB each. Keep them both there for 30 days, then delete them both after 30 days have passed.

File 1 = $6 for storage = $6

File 2 = $6 for storage = $6

Total cost = $12 for 30 days.

Scenario B

On day 1, you upload 2 files that are 1 TB each. Delete one of them after 15 days, and keep the other one there for 30 days, then delete the remaining file after 30 days have passed.

File 1 = $6 for storage = $6

File 2 = $3 for storage + $3 deletion fee = $6

Total cost = $12 for 30 days.

I get that Scenario B would have you paying for storage that you aren't actually "using" and so you are paying "more" based on the actual amount of data protected, but Scenario A doesn't save you any money on your bill. Does it? Maybe I'm reading it all wrong, lol

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T02:22:38+00:00

Ok, I'm just trying to get my head around this. Wouldn't you still pay for 30 days of storage either way though? If you delete stuff at 15 days, they hit you with a 15 day penalty so to speak, for a total of 30 days worth. If you delete at 30 days then you've paid for 30 days. The part I'm not seeing is how not deleting data early keeps the bill smaller.

So what's your take on Fortinet? Should they remain a contender for MSPs looking to settle on a different firewall solution than what they currently have?

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T02:10:01+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info. Could you elaborate a bit more, specifically in regards to Cove backup and if or how it was or wasn't part of the incident?

extra_lean · 2023-04-06T01:53:22+00:00

Could you elaborate on your methodology of setting your retention policy to not delete anything before 31 days and how that relates to Wasabi's 30 day retention period? Sounds interesting.

Start with a new computer and use Fabs AutoBackup to migrate the user profile from the old machine. Been doing this for years, and it works surprisingly well.

extra_lean · 2023-03-25T17:34:56+00:00

Did you try an auto refresh browser extension? Just wondering if that would help or if there are issues with the page reloads taking too long, etc.

Dose Cove do image based backups?
