Using Veeam FastSCP to Copy Virtualmin Web Site Backups
Makes it easy to schedule backups in a number of ways. Even though Virtualmin is capable of sending backup data remotely using either FTP or SCP, I have decided instead to use the amazing free Veeam FastSCP to copy backup data to an external drive connected via firewire. Having it done this way helps cut down bandwith usage. Veeam was primarily designed to copy VMware ESX server bulk files in an extremely fast way.

Backing Up and Restoring ESXi Guest Virtual Machines
I have been searching for a backup solution for my guest virtual machines on my VMware ESXi host. The solution would have to be a free solution at the moment since we had a temporary spending freeze on our IT budget. I was fortunate enough to have come accross this article covering cool free tools to use for Virtualization. One of the products the author talked about was a free backup solution for ESX server created by Trilead.com called VM Explorer. The free version allows backing up virtual machines on an ESXi host, whereas the paid version allows scheduling backups.

Another piece of the puzzle for my Virtualization project has fit into place. I was able to virtualize my IPCop firewall boxes using a free download of VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 4 server. ESXi is a type 1 hypervisor, which directly communicates with server hardware. This was the primary reason why I decided to use ESXi instead of VMware server.

With the growing number of servers, workstations, firewalls, routers, switches, Virtual hosts and VOIP systems to manage at work, I needed a tool which could alert me at the first sign of trouble. Using Nagios to monitor my LAN, I am now able to proactively deal with problems before it becomes critical.
