  1. yeah that's how I'm leaning, from what I can tell veeam is ~$450us/year for 5 devices and Wasabi is ~$6us per TB/mo for cloud. WAY WAY cheaper and seems to have a very good reputation all around.
  2. you might be able to get a used 3060 on ebay for under $300. I mean, I did and it was perfect, but a whole PC for that price, no. Unless it's stolen or a scam or a scam such as "oops, we meant GTX1050 and a i5-7400 cobbled together with leftover parts from the back room"
  3. So local computer shop is quoting us a new server, good storage, hyper-V, we'll have 2 to 5 VMs. ~12TB storage. Probably overpriced but they are local and actually answer the phone. Local computer shop apparently has partnered with Datto and is quoting us a Datto solution that seems to be super expensive, thousands up front and ~1200 a month for cloud and the typical full backup/restore capability. Since I'm also "the computer guy" on-site I was tasked with looking into it as the local shop is not being forthcoming with alternative non-pricey backup solutions. So I've learned that Veeam and Altaro along with cloud services like Wasabi are super popular and have a super reputation and very reasonable prices. Datto has a reputation for being good overall, but with the caveat that they are extortion-level priced and also just got bought out by Satan himself. Even a search on here shows that Datto is not really mentioned but stuff like Veeam is mentioned a LOT. What do you say?
  4. The folder redirection is working properly, the issue is that everyone can see everyone else's stuff. The individual folders are owned by the correct user. Attached are pics of the incorrectly done one and another pic of one where it's right. This is the advanced permissions for the root dir. What's a good and quick way to fix this?
  5. I've got a T3600 I'm using as a server. I have a old 2 slot video card in the primary PCIe. I added a USB3 expansion card in one of the other PCIe. Then, when I put it into server duty I added a network card with dual port for teaming. When I did that the USB card quit working. I've since moved the cards around a little bit to no avail. I haven't tried all combinations I don't think, I wanted to figure out what's going on. The manuals from when the T3600 was released elude to some possible limitations on what KIND of card can go where. But that may have been limited configurations from the factory not sure. Specs- Dell Precision T3600 workstation Windows Server 2019 32 GB ECC RAM SATA SSD for OS, 2 HDD for storage. Dell Intel dual network card off ebay Some USB card from amazon ATI graphics card Latest BIOS
  6. So, this server is running Windows Server 2012R2 so I can only run up to SQL 2017. Can anyone point me to the proper MS SQL2017 STD ISO download?
  7. https://www.cdw.com/product/microsoft-sql-server-2019-standard-license-1-license/6083436
  8. Ok, sorry for bringing this thread up again. I talked to the owner of the server and tried my best to explain the massive levels of BS and the massive discrepancies for this piece of ... software. They want to do "the middle option" which basically means getting it from CDW. CDW itself is a mess, can anyone here help me understand WTF is actually going on there with their listings? They're all over the place but there is real consensus that CDW is a legit place to buy SQL and I should be able to get a real licensed copy of SQL for around $1000.
  9. So this may be a retail vs volume/OEM issue? I can add SQL for $3189 to my cart and go to checkout and it does not say it is a 2 core pack, nor does the first page link to the page you and the consultants reference that mention a 2 core pack. I have no doubt both are real, what is confusing is why there is such a profound discrepancy, even being supported by a chat.
  10. The consultants are pointing to THIS page, which says completely different things and doesn't show the same price for any option as the link above. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2019-pricing
  11. Ok, this just gets better and better. I went here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/sql-server-2019-standard-edition/dg7gmgf0fkx9?activetab=pivot:requirementstab https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/9/0/290f991b-5971-42e5-bb2c-81f700622b2e/SQL Server 2019 Editions Datasheet.pdf and saw that SQL is ~$3200. It says it is for 24 cores. Says nothing about 2 cores and says nothing about CALs. I did a chat and confirmed with what appeared to be a real person that SQL 2019 standard is ~ $3200 for 24 cores. Period. ----Headdesk---
  12. If you check my original post, I've done that. I contacted a number of SQL MS partners and they did not reply. I contacted one who got back to me and it's been a nightmare.
