Short and sweet. But a question for anyone familiar with the items in the subject line and any two of them.
I've been impressed by what Macrium Reflect can do for me, in contrast to protests of reticent dual-boot-ignorance from EaseUS and Acronis tech-support. I understand -- the market goes with the mainstreamers, and mainstreamers wouldn't touch dual-boot with a ten-foot-pole or even see any benefits. Those folks want a cell-phone that has a TP dispenser for when you need to evacuate and the stall has an empty roller.
OK. So I can easily image with diff and inc updates to a local hard disk. Well, right there in Macrium's knowledge base, you see "Network Drives." I am sure I can do this. I just want some advance information if someone cares to comment.
The server has a 4-disk drivepool under a Stablebit Drivepool virtual drive. I actually duplicated the nightly backups for the Win7 machines, and I can duplicate on the folder-by-folder level within Stablebit. The server manages the backups, so the backup feature requires installing "connector" software on the client. But my Skylake client already exists on the server recognized list. I discovered that bare-metal restore to my new Win10(/7) system fails because of my system hardware for booting and running the USB rescue-plug created on the server. I think I installed connector on the Win7 part of my dual-boot OS config.
Should I create a separate folder on the same level as WHS's "Client Workstation Backup?"
Do I need to create an updated Macrium Restore or Rescue Disc, and should I do it before or after defining the network-to-WHS->protected folder? And do I need to map a network drive locally? (Probably not.) I assume the administrators permission is sufficient, although I could exclude others in that group.
Have there ever been any problems working with a bare-metal restore and Macrium Rescue disc for any particular media option -- CD/DVD or USB-flash?
And I'm correct in assuming that you create the USB/CD/DVD[ISO] on the client? That would be obvious.
Any noted problems with reliable operation of scheduled backup? Assuredly, the scheduling takes place on the client -- not the server.
Sorry -- I'm doing it again -- anal-retentive OCD and a thread OP that is already too long. I just remember now again why I posted this: I'm about the pull the string for a paid Macrium license -- about $70.
