The free Veeam agent can use local stroage (internal, external HDD/SSD), a network share (SMB/CIFS), a Veeam Backup Repository (from the enterprise version) or a OneDrive Account).

Uhm... well... if there is a normal ethernet connection between the router and the media converter you might simply add a switch?

Just one quick question: Why not simply plug the drives in your current os and create a file share from that? Why the additional virtualisation layer?

If you need a tool you might also try gping, but sadly it stopped working for me recently which is why i can't recommend it currently.

RAID6 on 4 drives is also a 50% hit...

Before you start anything should read up on NetFlow. Depending on your router type it might even already support it or openFlow or sFlow. Edit: I've looked into my old notes. Either use an enterprise grade switch (any cisco should do it) which supports netFlow and pull the data from that or this might interest you aswell: https://northboundnetworks.com/collections/zodiac-fx/products/zodiac-fx

set logfile=pinglog.txt :START echo. ping -n 1 google.com | find /i "bytes=" || goto ERR ping -n 5 localhost >nul GOTO START :ERR echo %DATE% %TIME% >>%logfile% ping -n 6 localhost >nul GOTO START copy this to a text file, change the file extention to bat and execute it. What it does: Define a logfile ping "google.com" (change with your destination) every second. If it does find part of the normal response sleep 5 seconds. jump to start again If it doesn't jump to ERR Write the Date and Time into the logfile sleep 5 seconds Go to start.

Depending on your router you can set an additional IP address on the ONU/WAN facing interface and route between them.

Wait... you want your hyper visor to be accessable to the internet?...... well okay... I am not familiar with unraid but in hyper-v or esxi you could create a second internal switch for the hyper visior and the reverse proxy and set up the reverse proxy to forward a certain url to your hyper visior management interface.

Did it start a new backup (as in trying to run now) or bring up the configuration menu to create a new backup set?

Ok first things first... have you rebooted the device? check it's IP and the IP of any functioning device, are they in the same subnet?

Specwise any of those should be able to handle it.

Try your laptop directly at the recieving Rocket. If that doesn't work, check if WDS is enabled.

I don't know if unRaid offers anything like that directly but I saw it offers Docker directly so you might try something like this: https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy

Veeam. The agent for baremetal Windows and Linux is free. Just set up your backup server as a file share and use it as the backup repository.

If you want something to listen to I can recomment the Sysadmin today Podcast but it might be a bit too much for somebody without experience. If you really want to get in it with zero budget, if you have Windows 10 Pro, Edu or Ent you can set up the Hyper-V feature on your current machine and try yourself at setting up a vm. If you have an older spare system you can check out ESXi for free as a hypervisior. You can check out if you qualify for https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students/

HP ≠ Dell Just somebody working in the industry and I can tell you from experience that self build servers are never a good idea. When shit hit's the fan there is nobody to rely on. You'd have to source replacement parts from ebay. There is no support contract. The hardware is not build for permanent use. If you go with HP you can get replacement parts for the next 10 years (guesstimate) and if you take a carepack you can get them even shipped overnight or get a certified HP tech to diagnose and repair hardware issues. You also get enterprise grade features, hard- and firmware. Sadly HP took away the iLo port for microservers in G10 (f* u HP for that one). Dell pretty much offers the same deals but I am not well versed in Dell equipment. Maybe they have a small SMB server with iDARC. Yes, you are paying premium but I think the benefits greatly outweight the cost.

Do youself and colleagues a favor and just go buy a HP Microserver. You will thank me 3 years down the line even if you don't know it yet.

I am not trying to be mean but you have to keep in mind that most of the things LTT does are not industrial standard nor enterprise equipment. I've seen a fair number of server rooms and datacenters and I've yet to see a self build server etc. So the rough basics are: Separate locked room climate controlled from the front of the racks, the backs are usually a hot channel Lot's of HP ProLiant or Dell PowerEdge servers which are normally ESXi or Hyper-V Hypervisors, often clustered Connected via iSCSI or SAS to storage systems like HP MSA, 3PAR or Dell EqualLogic, PowerVault Usually there are Windows Servers running the Domain Controller Services, DNS, DHCP for clients Linux Servers running CentOS, RedHat Network equipment is usually HP, Cisco, Aruba for switches Cisco, Meraki, Dell SonicWall, FortiNet, Juniper for Firewalls or routers Most databases either run on MS SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA or some mySQL flavor It greatly depends on your budget or needs.

Judging by the behaviour you show in your responses you act like a typical end user and I never assume an end user would to anything reasonable.

Just go with Veeam. It's free and enterprise grade. It will create a full backup and run on a schedule to create incremental backups and merging the oldest backup so you don't go over the storage limit.

I read your post and nowhere did you write what happens if you try to access it via cmd. You only showed a screenshot what happens when you try to access it via file explorer.

You tried to access the folder via gui, did you try to access it via cmd or powershell? d: cd folder\944417042 dir /a

You should check out Tails as your OS.

Backing up the programs without settings is not reasonable. When you install programs they add keys to your registry. It would take ages to find them all.
