MozyPro ... 5 days later

Continuing my online backup testing ... 5 days later and 20.2GB uploaded to MozyPro servers ... for an average of 4.04GB/day.

A smarter dude would have ran the MozyPro client on a different box rather than running it directly on our main fileserver which also hosts 4 or so VM's.  That certainly could have an impact on why I'm not seeing more of our uplink being utilized ;-)

I've also started testing SQL backups with MozyPro ... sadly it's not working for some reason.  The log files show that the app is encoding the database file, but the upload never starts.

Perhaps it's time to give tech support a ring and see how that goes.

I finally made a new blog category for backups so all these backup posts are nestled all together ... hmm, it's not often I use the word nestled.

The testing continues...

UPDATE:  I shot an email to MozyPro support about the SQL issue ... they responded back within 6 minutes and I've now sent them the log files for further investigation.  Gotta love prompt support :-)

UPDATE2: About 10mins later I got an email back with some steps to try ... and waalaa ... SQL backups are now crankin'.
