Yes, I was enquiring about Commvault. Thank you.

Is that expensive?

Does Veeam do physical machines as well?

Hi, Windows and VMware.

Anyone with any insight into backup software? What does everyone use? Many thanks, Ben

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with interactive projectors? The devil is in the detail of course, and on the face of it, they look like a no brainer. Does anyone know what the pitfalls are? Many thanks, Ben.

Can you re-image the computers with the software installed?

Just in case anyone else gets this problem, here is the answer: CTX128332 - Images are Tinted Blue in Published Photoshop - Citrix Knowledge Center Ben

Hi all, We are using Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 via VDI in a box on thin clients. When we open an image in Photoshop, we get a purple "layer" over the image. The layer will vanish where the cursor is waved over the image leaving a trail behind it of correct colour. When you resize the window the "layer" comes back. I would like to explicitly say this is NOT a Photoshop layer! The image contains the one single layer. I use the work layer as I cannot think of what else to call it. Hope someone out there will be able to help. Ben.

Spiceworks here as well. Asset management, integrated helpdesk, reporting. What more could you want?

File server, DC's everything except your backup server should be virtual, unless you have some specific hardware requirements. So your main file server should be virtual as well, and the storage available to your virtual host should be enough to house everything. Veeam then needs to have enough storage to back it all up. As for RAID scenarios, RAID 5 if you can afford it for backups, performance with RAID 1 isn't good but it may well suffice for 4 - 5 VM's. RAID 5 or 10 for the virtual host. IMO.

I was simply thinking of using the NAS box for your backup store. So it would present itself as locally attached storage, if it provides iSCSI, or whatever means you care to use, to the Dell. Although your Dell does seem a bit underpowered it's true. Best case scenario is a new server for Veeam, perhaps with lots of cheap SATA storage instead of a NAS box?

Virtualize everything except your backup server. So the dell you were going to use as a DC, I'd virtualize. You can always use the Dell as a second DC, or use it for backups with the NAS box. Virtualizing your backup server is bad news for the reason you pointed out.

+1 for iSAMS.
