About to start the first discussion in 4 years about backups and RTO/RPO -- likely the first discussion in a decade.
Have fun with THAT!

Just one of many things that needs to be done here.
-
Unsubscribing from SW threads. Why? I just feel that I need to. I may necro post a really old one for no reason
-
Watching a video about SharePoint and Office 365 while I wait for answers about backup questions.
-
@nadnerb Okay, so posting for no reason then?
-
The shock paddles deployed

No need. I'm not relying on the Altigen IP PBX anymore.

Maybe...
-
Imaging user stations and just getting caught up.
-
Hmmmm, logging out of SW seems to fail... locally?
No wonder their site goes down a lot. I turn my modem off when I'm not using it.

Not sure what happened but I've gotten almost 50 emails from network security vendors this morning. Marking them as junk but somehow my email got onto a list.

51...52....53.... Just wait and see if they start billing you for stuff that you didn't get (or order).

Thirty-three computers. Sixteen live off our network with work-from-home folks. Eight of us have some kind of Office 365 license that would give us access to SharePoint. Methinks it's time to look at moving the other 25 of us to Office 365 (everyone currently uses Exchange Online for E-mail), getting Sharepoint going, and ditching our on-premises file server.

I would pilot this with an amenable subgroup. At my prior job we tried to do this, but OneDrive for Business was not up to the task. That was about 4 years ago, so updates since may have improved sufficiently, but I would not jump in without user testing.

Why did you need OneDrive for Business? Sharepoint alone didn't do the trick? Did you need syncing/offline support?
-
Another option would be NextCloud.

It was for local file sync. Sharepoint Online was ok, but many of our users wanted the speed of having the files local. And being a school bandwidth was always at a premium during peak times.

The other thing (doing a @scottalanmiller right now) is that we (IT) looked at the utility and what we used it for, and judged that bandwidth was sufficient and that we didn't need ODfB. Then we threw it at our test group and they used it differently and put higher demands on it. And the project died because it didn't meet their needs.

What did you do instead?

Back to DFS with local file servers at each campus (one building).
