To be honest, I am all for the advantages that an offsite service provides like availability and expansion but installing the application on all my servers and then allowing that app to run with unrestricted access to my server with outbound privileges is not likely an option for most places.
At one of my gigs, we stage all the servers to a single staging server which then replicates to another in a DMZ which schedules the uploads. That facilitates the use of native processes to dump data, mssql, postgre, exchange etc. jlc ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Gavin Wilby <[email protected]> Sent: April 12, 2016 5:29 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] RE: Small backup solution Won't handle Exchange though.
