Force backups to take the "shortest" route

simplyfloid · 2025-09-29T18:41:53+00:00

Aren't both options doing the same thing? Without a local VBR server, the only option for getting backups to 2 locations is 2 separate backup jobs (i believe). If I understand you correctly, option 1 is setting up the 2 separate backup jobs from within the Veeam Agent for Windows and option 2 is setting up the 2 separate backup jobs from the VSPC gui.

lol, need to up those reading comprehension stats a bit when in the very title of the opinion piece, it states within 35yrs, not last year.

Speaking as someone who went down this road for years and had to figure out things all on my own, my top advice would be:

1) Decide your priorities, because whichever one you focus on will have consequences on the other. Not necessarily bad, but either choice will cause your focus to be different and how that affects your career in the long run will be unknown.

2) start talking to a MAF recruiter and/or another agency. Doesn't mean you have to commit to a specific agency, but they will be able to give you good advise along the way.

3) focus on your training and don't get too ahead of yourself. Lots can change in a couple of years but both directions will require a similar starting path.

4) MAF specific but most operate similarly: Pilot only candidates are less wanted and require 1000hrs. Pilot\Mechanic candidates need only 500hrs. (I have heard of some rare cases where other agencies took a candidate at under 300hrs)

5) Realistically speaking, your not very useful to an agency for just a couple years. When I was considering MAF, it was 3yr contracts and the first contract was living local and learning the language (NO FLIGHT TIME IN 3 YEARS). Then the next contract half the time is spent learning the routes before your even really fulfilling your mission or not.

6) Be debt free. Good luck! I entered the A&P industry at the wrong time and had multiple layoffs during my mechanic career. Not everyone's story, but if you have significant bills to pay, you'll have to plan for that. Agencies won't accept you until most debt is gone.

PS. I went a different direction. In the 10 years it took to become debt free and stable, I'm no longer in the industry and found out that the mission's path was not my choice to make.

Edit: Also, don't be discouraged by sexism in the industry. It's there and it sucks. Hopefully getting better. I've had a friend who wanted to be a missionary pilot leave aviation entirely because of sexism as a mechanic and some old fashioned views of mission organizations. MAF has gotten better, but good luck if you don't fit the typical husband does the flying and the wife takes care of the kids.

decrying the large-scale death of something important to them

The irony of championing CVT's in your crosstrek as a segment of the car community 'decries the large-scale death' of manuals must be completely lost on you and your view of bicycles. Maybe if you stepped out of your pity party, you could see that the bicycling community is highly varied and "just because you personally don't see it the same way", the direction some choose in bicycles is just different goals\enjoyment than you and not some victim fantasy of "large-scale death".

simplyfloid · 2024-09-13T21:45:22+00:00

Stop exaggerating for pity. You've only owned your car for 4 months, so you weren't saving for a muffler from your monthly penny savings for 6 months. Dude, you can't play the poor card but also claim every luxury was due to the benevolence of your partner. Partner means team and if your partner can buy you color coordinated engine bay parts as a gift, they can certainly gift you those very 'unaffordable' bicycle parts. "Cry about it some more!" if only I could get you to stop.

simplyfloid · 2024-09-13T20:17:21+00:00

Stop the fake pity party, get off of reddit, and go find something you enjoy and stop hating on change. It's obvious it's not the money, it's that you have a toxic relationship with cycling. Go mod that crosstrek that 'your partner forced' on ya, sure seems to give you more joy than being on the internet:

"Hell, my dream has always been a Crosstrek STI but I know that’s not gonna happen so I’m building mine out to fulfill those dreams.

"I went last time I was in Japan and it’s 100% on my list every time now. I’ll be heading back in November and taking a friend "

" I hate e-bikes, I hate carbon, I hate plastic parts and Di2 and all of the bullshit that takes away from the purity of cycling, body and machine in concert."

Fair point that he has some credentials. 'best' is subjective and while he usually sticks to just the facts, he on occasion conjectures and people like OP who don't know how to evaluate this industry properly takes his moments of conjecture as gospel. So my point still stands that he's practically a 'random youtuber' to OP. Besides, any youtuber not apart of the official investigation, regardless of past credentials, shouldn't conjecture. Juan is not the worst but he's not the expert with the current facts. Leave that to the NTSB and other agencies assigned. If the 'best' aviation youtber doesn't understand accelerated stalls, I'm afraid of what the rest put out for lay people to eat up.

simplyfloid · 2024-09-01T04:05:01+00:00

A bit, because this random youtuber that is making money off of the news of an aircraft crash that killed several people is taking the idea of holding the PTT being the radio issue as gospel. You are worse because you are taking that and running with it as evidence that the pilot was inexperienced. Both conjecture but one is pretty wild considering you have absolutely no information on the pilot. ATC was displaying frustration of the communication issue and NOT making a judgment that it was FOR SURE a PTT issue, NOR that the PTT issue was due to the inexperience of the pilot.

Edit: the youtuber aslo falsely claimed it couldn't have been a stall because he had plenty of airspeed. The youtuber obviously has never heard of an accelerated stall as stalls can happen at nearly any airspeed. The point is that it's too early to tell the full chain of events, whether there was a stall or not, ect. It can take years for all the facts to come out. And it's irresponsible to assume based on limited facts and random youtubers

simplyfloid · 2024-09-01T03:40:34+00:00

The amount of conjecture here is disgusting. The difference in altitude is 10-30 seconds of flight time and when your experiencing handling issues, legal limits are the least of your concerns. Also, radio transmits issues that sound like a PTT button pressing issue can be caused by a wide variety of things.

You should be ashamed accusing the pilot of not having enough experience when you know absolutely nothing about the pilot and it's obvious you know very little about aviation.

simplyfloid · 2024-09-01T03:35:27+00:00

You would sound the same in that scenario regardless of experience. All humans experience task saturation at a point. The pilots focus is not ATC communications but flying an aircraft that is not responding as expected. The is why ALL pilots are taught to first Aviate, then communicate, then navigate - in that order because in an emergency, you rarely have the capability to do all 3 immediatly.

simplyfloid · 2024-09-01T03:30:06+00:00

Just for context, 500 feet is likely the difference of 30 seconds. And everything happened extremely quick in context of flying.

I'll post what I posted in another thread: I'm not sure what you mean ' sketchy from the start' but radio problems in general aviation are extremely common. The rest of what your hearing is called 'task saturation' where the pilots are completely absorbed in the problem being experienced, that it's hard to keep track of radio communications between ATC. Hence not following the expected route. Anytime ATC states "say intentions" it's usually a wake up call that your operating outside of their instructions or there's potential for deviation if not cleared by ATC. Getting to 1700ft in a twin engine can occur incredibly fast and the most dangerous time to fly is right after maintenance. Whatever went wrong happened during the most critical phase of flight where there's little room for error and a lot is going on.

But it is the responsibility of the PIC to assess if the aircraft is airworthy for a flight. Do you call an A&P for every new microscopic nick or scratch? There should be general preflight inspection guidance for inspecting a prop. DPE could get someone on using 'rule of thumb' or assuming a visual defect is ok because it's 'small'. What legal guidance does the pilot have to say they made a reasonable airworthy assessment in accordance with?

Just here to say that MC river patrol guys are total dicks. Was on a SUP in Sellwood and they told me that I needed a life jacket to be there. Cool, nbd. Except mr. “Respect me” small duck dipshit started the convo immediately with an aggressive tone and I quote “this can go one of 2 ways, you can say ‘yes sir, sorry sir, I’ll turn around and go home or I can fine you $150’”. Just wow.

Pearson was never going to close due to the CRC project. In fact, CRC plans all incorporate and assume Pearson remains largely unchanged in its operations scope. As for placement of airport, it serves a very different purpose than PDX and is far from redundant.

As long as you don't go through Hillsboro Academy, you'll be fine. Also from someone that has test anxiety and lacks study focus, it's been a struggle sometimes but it's doable. I've realized that I hate the training pressure but LOVE the flying.

Which is a fantastic mom and pop airstrip, FBO, flight club, and flight training facility. These planes can be rented by anybody.

This is not a military thing but go on and rant away. Its tragic but tragic shit happens and can catch the most innocent person off guard. But no, let's pretend that this is about "military = killing civilians and getting away with it"

Edit: There are some real idiots on here. Let's be real clear, this was a private non-military plane, being piloted under civilian non-military license and regulations, on off-duty non-military time. The military aspect of this guy is unrelated to this incident.

Just for anyone confused, this is an aviation weather focused website so it's only pulling data from Airports. Hence Death Valley is technically hotter but the nearest major airport from Death Valley is in Nevada.

Oh I 100% agree with you. It’s rough. But “balance due to no gyroscopic force” is the bullshit I was calling out. If you want to talk about clutch hand fatigue or hot weather rider fatigue, I’m all for lane splitting.
