I'm looking for some guidance on a good solution for backing up a single physical server, with a possible gotcha. This server is running a linux VM through virtualbox. Total backup is about 700GB and the internet connection is 8/8 if that changes anything for offsite replication recommendations...

got one, this can be closed. This site owns.

I just finished up Enemy Unknown and it was fantastic and I'm looking to pick up Enemy Within now and finish that before XCOM2 comes out in November. Anyone have a key for this or a discount code for sale? I'm having a hard time paying $29 for the DLC when I paid $20 for the original.

trading an RC car I have for a PS4, is there anything I should look for when making sure it works other than the fact that it gets to the main interface?

I have a machine running win7 Pro that I can't get to join the domain. Another admin removed it and when trying to join it back it returns the following error. I've confirmed the credentials are correct and a member of the domain admins group. I removed the computer from AD, renamed the...

I've been experiencing a blue screen randomly lately. Sometimes it's days without crashing, sometimes it's multiple times a day that is crashes and restarts. It became annoying enough that I completely reinstalled Windows and it still happens. I thought it could be memory so I ran memtest for 24...

I did some searching and it looks like istockphoto is the big player but it's very expensive. I'm not saying it's not worth it but I have a small startup with pretty much zero budget and am looking for some hi res photos of data centers and networking equipment. Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks to another thread I picked up a DID and a polycom 335 for $35 off craigslist. I'm trying to get it to register with voip.ms. I've made my way to the web interface of the polycom and followed a guide on voip.ms for a similar model with similar menus but it won't hook up. I downloaded a...

What's the most you've downloaded in a month?

my DIR-655 is pretty old now and I've been having to rebooted it daily to restore wireless connectivity so I'm looking to upgrade. I know the Unifi name is generally thought highly of here and was curious if I picked up a couple of them for my house if the zero handoff feature would work as I...

I have a buddy at work that is handing his i3 gaming machine down to his kids and looking to put something together for himself. 1) Budget = $650. 2) Components. Starting from scratch for the PC itself. Don't need keyboard, mouse or monitor though. The smaller the case the better but doesn't...

I have multiple iPhones and iPads in my household and a mac mini used to general computing. It's come time that I need more than an iPad for some side gig jobs I have. Initially I was considering a macbook air because of the portability and I don't feel that I need a ton of horsepower for what...

Does anyone have a recommendation for an online casino that can be played for fun? I'm not looking to have to add funds to play, just casual play. I've used partypoker.net for that but I'd like to play roulette or some slots to kill some time. I did a google search but there are countless ones...

Is anyone currently using or know of any kind of software that could be used as a notification for members of a NOC team so they know if there was an issue or outage overnight. It seems that when my team of engineers emails updates and notifications they NOC team looks over them and have called...

At the end of the month I'll be pulling a couple R710's out of a data center and I'm going to be looking to unload them. I suppose I could toss them up on cragislist or ebay but I wanted to check if there was a better option for selling them. Both servers have dual quadcore CPU's and 64GB of...

I have a customer who is running a XenServer environment with two hosts and zero shared storage. One of the VM's is corrupt and I was able to get the .vhd of the system volume. I'd like to either rebuild the vm or if possible swap the existing system volume for the one from backup. Here's the...

As my title says I'm looking for a headset recommendation for my PS3. I've been an xbox guy for a long time and am used to the ones that plug into the controller and are a single ear with mic that can be muted. I'd prefer something similar since I like to use my surround sound and don't want to...

Latest round of updates on a SBS 2008 machine were installed 8/13 and rebooted overnight. Once it was back up everything appeared it was working. Trying to log in to that server gives an error of Explorer.exe The Application Failed to Initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click Ok to Terminate...

Is there a current version of this game? Something ideally with animated pieces, network play would be awesome.

I'm trying to open a port on my Microtik and I believe I have it done correctly but utorrent is still "Finding Peers" I've used http://canyouseeme.org/ to check the port and it says it can see me and my ISP is not blocking that port. These Linux ISO's always have peers so I don't know what...

Lenovo Y580 I have a gently used Lenovo Y580. This laptop has been a beast for me, but I simply don't use it anymore since I built a gaming PC. I used it to play Diablo III and Street Fighter IV perfectly. Specs are below. Let me know if you want a picture of something particular or from...

I'm currently in need of a set of speakers for my computer (specs in sig) I've been using headphones for a while now and I'd like some speakers. I'm fairly naive as far as speaker specs as I'm used to only buying 2.1 set ups from BB and the like. About 5 years ago I picked up a Dayton Audio DIY...

I bought a used fightstick off ebay and come to find out I need some kind of adapter to use my xbox 360 headset with it. I tried plugging in the headset and there are some prongs and the curved plastic housing for that connector doesn't allow it to seat all the way in to the jack. Anyone know...

I picked up a PS3 with some gift cards I received for Christmas and wanted to download Ni No Kuni from the Playstation store. There are two downloads, one is 5.8GB and the other is ~16GB I think. The weird thing is the smaller download is labeled as "full game" I wanted to check here before...

I'm looking to replace my Untangle box that is running on an old Optiplex 755 I had laying around and I wanted something rackmount so I could help clean up the mess I have going on right now. http://routerboard.com/RB2011iL-RM I'm specifically looking at he above model, would there be any...

I cut the cable cord about a year ago and have been strictly using an AppleTV with iTunes to satisfy my needs and it's been great. I would occasionally watch some live OTA TV if I felt the need as well. I moved my TV to an outside wall with no coax drop and I've tried using my Mohu Leaf antenna...

I'm looking to setup a server that will run some type of IM application that I can connect to along with a handful of other users for secure/encrypted chat. This will be a VM on my XenServer at home. Has anyone done this either for personal or business use? From my googling around it looks like...

I've had a mac mini for over a year now and it's been great. I've installed a Crucial M4 128gb SSD and 8GB of memory, not a single issue until recently when it started locking up to the point where I need to hold the power button down to shut it down and turn it back on. I'm primarily a windows...

lightly used ASUS 1001P netbook, it's been upgraded to 2GB of memory and Windows 7 Enterprise (legit). Great battery life, no issues, wife simply doesn't use it anymore since she got her iPad. Make me a reasonable offer

Brand new, in box with all documentation, cables, power adapter and stand.....$100

looking to upgrade here, rig in my signature. At this point would it be worth it to add another 7850 to my machine or just make the jump to a 670 or 680? If the addition of a second 7850 is worth it I'm cool with that for now and will look at a larger upgrade at another time but if it's not...

I haven't used Symantec for AV since 2006 and recently got an email for their Endpoint AV Cloud solution and I'm somewhat interested in the product or something similar. Right now we're using Sophos with their Enterprise Console to manage servers and workstations in our environment. Big wigs...

I'm not a cisco guy by trade but I can't seem to make any headway on an ASA issue I have right now. throughput is like 1/10 of what it should be. Upload is maxed out around 4mbps, taking the ASA out gives us about 10-14mbps show interface results... anything obvious?

Not too long ago I received some excellent GPO help with an environment I'm responsible for and once again I'm getting my hands into things that I've never had to deal with before as I came from IBM and Unix into this Windows world. There is a Backup Exec 2012 server in the environment and it...

I've never bought more than an off the shelf laptop so I'm having some indecision trying to configure a laptop from xoticpc. It's really for gaming at the office on lunch with some other employees, or when I don't want to sit at my desk at home and play there. I know I'd like 1920x1080 and I...

going through some bins at work I came across this tiny SSD. I haven't seen a SATA connection this small before, or even an SSD this small. Nobody seems to know where it came from. Is there a cable that would hook that up to a normal sized SATA header on a motherboard?

I put my gaming rig back together finally and have been playing Diablo 3. Am I going to see a big increase in this game going up to a 7850 or something close on the nvidia side? I'm not looking for a $500+ card, preferably >$250. Would the performance increase be worth the cash?
