just received 7M of firewood
What in the fuck is that?
In ‘Murcia we measure ranks of wood by the cord.
1 cord of wood = 4’ x 4’ x 8’ stacked = 128 cubic feet.
Though if it is cut and split, you use something like 110 or 120 cubic feet as a cord.
I haven’t been a pseudo lumberjack since 1991.
Yeah, grew up always measuring in cords.
Never heard of the term. Heard of chains, but 7 chains of firewood would be quite a bit.

happy wednesday morning to all. sunny at present but expecting rain, cold but not freezing.
looking at veeam one today as i want a single console to look at and monitor backup jobs.
what's an open source backup solution i could use in place of veeam? needs to back up hyper-v vms, windows servers etc. I have 8 schools, all backup hyper-v vms. Also need to do file/folder backups. -

what's an open source backup solution i could use in place of veeam? needs to back up hyper-v vms, windows servers etc. I have 8 schools, all backup hyper-v vms. Also need to do file/folder backups.For file/folder backups:
- For Windows, you can use robocopy
- For Linux, you can use rsync, borgbackup, restic, etc...
- UrBackup
- Bacula
- Syncthing
Set up Syncthing on all your VMs and your backup host.
Your VMs will have file versioning set to "No File Versioning" which is set by default.
Your backup host, will have file versioning set to "Simple File Versioning".
Have all your VMs sync their files and folders to your backup host.
More information at https://docs.syncthing.net/
Here's a screenshot of my setup right now. You manage Syncthing via a web interface.

Hey thanks for the help. Could you use syncthing to backup VMs? They're just files.

@JaredBusch That brings back memories. Used to cut and split wood years ago. Hard work.

I've only tried backing up offline VMs.
