New comment by jpkeisala in "Ask HN: What do you use to backup your VMs?"

jpkeisala — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 05:22:24 +0000

I have a VM running Windows Server that hosts MS SQL Server and websites under IIS. I use Robocopy and PowerShell to copy daily and weekly file backups, as well as SQL backup scripts for the databases. The backups are then stored on a separate drive, which has a nightly copy to remote storage and deletes files older than 30 days. Occasionally, I manually copy the backups from remote storage to a local computer.

It only takes a minute to restore if needed, but the problem is if the OS goes down (which has happened once in the last 10 years due to a disk failure), it takes several hours to reinstall everything from scratch.

It would be very popular move for every EU politician to fast track Scotland to EU. But yes, it would be complicated to separate from UK and become independent. Becoming EU member would not be that complicated.

I have been waiting Server Side rendering to come back. I can't get my head around why build a normal brochure website using frontend frameworks.

> much money Google has thus far sunk into Fuchsia for (AFAICT) very little in return. It was in the billions... years ago.

If it would be any other car manufacturer they would be facing multi-million lawsuits. Instead TSLA is breaking records.

If Whitehouse is pressuring TikTok to sell US TikTok to US company does that mean US citizens will have it's own TikTok ?

I thought it was about SPA vs. Multipage application on which I would have agreed but using web technology instead of native on mobile app development is completely fine by me.

This Wikipedia link actually describes it well. I am originally from Finland but been living abroad most of my life. After few years abroad I learned that there is no use to correct people "Finland is not Scandianvia" because apart from Finland and actual Scandinavia rest of the world says Scandinavia.

Thanks for start.me. I just registered. I forgot these kind of portals still exist. I used to have netvibes.com but for some reason I stopped using it. I will give another try with Start.me.

Interesting decision. I interpretate this either UK does not believe US that China is spying or little spying doesn't really matter since the price is better and we can control it.
