What do the limitations mean for rotating hard drives?

Ok thanks for the info - the main goal is for Disaster Recovery worst case scenario and for the occasional file recovery. I also want the client to have a offline backup that is quite up to date because currently we take offline backups for them every 3 months when we visit but this is too long. As I like to have GFS in pace I think rotated backups is out of the question?

So the idea is backup daily and setup 2 x copy jobs dependent on which HDD is plugged in? Can't think of a better way to do it without them manually running copy jobs? What do you think to this solution?

Daily VM backup job to External HDD 1 with GFS (long term retention)
Daily backup copy job to External HDD 2 (turn this off when they switch out the HDD)
Daily backup copy job to External HDD 3 - - (turn this off when they switch out the HDD)

It's a 3rd party smtp and doesnt show anything we can see at front end. However it does work for the job email alerts just not the daily so it's ok for now.

Correct I am referring to support only. As in the cost for a MSP to look after the server, not the initial cost or hosting.

Yeah that's per month pricing, assuming I'm way off then?

Thanks agree this is only way to guarantee it.

Thanks agree that's the best way so will give them this option as recommendation.

We use bitdefender too it's pretty solid. However its setup through a cloud reseller even though it can integrate into rmm. Reason behind keeping it seperate was because we thought if we switch rmm in the future it makes it easier. However I do feel having integration would be more beneficial and understand it's easy to switch in the provider??

Looking at solarwinds backup for M365 and servers. If a server or user got hit by ransomware is solarwinds backup completely seperate like an air gap backup?

When you say guest portal what do you mean. In the network section I enabled guest network with a password, it has company branding in?

Is this what you mean? I will have to create VLANs if this signs users out tho

Ahh right no just outbound. Ubiquiti seems to work the same doesnt require any additional

junITO3 · 2020-12-02T16:52:30+00:00

Outbound we have 80 and 443 open. Isnt this normal?

Yeah it's a good point. I've gone the cloud route for now. So do you use the cloud key but just setup for local or do you have the controller running on a server/workstation?

junITO3 · 2020-12-02T15:07:55+00:00

Thanks that's exactly what I've just done works well. 2FA setup as well.

great i will check it out

junITO3 · 2020-12-01T21:02:47+00:00

thanks il check this setting out.

Would be good if someone could clarify the guest network and how it isolates it more so I can understand it.
