I'm trying to figure out what makes backup exec so great.
It just like
makes backups on a schedule and dumps them into media/directories, right?
it's a combination of cheap, and the fact that in like 2005 it was the only/best game in town for that kind of thing, and just by sheer inertia a lot of places have stayed on it.
I'll bet that thing doesn't even come with install guides. That was back in the day when you had to write the program and then create your own install guide!

Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.
We put it on the bench and told the newest engineer that one of our clients brought it in and needed it running by the end of the day and it was all his, and let him freak and sputter for about a half an hour before we aborted his mounting aneurysm.

Yeah, it was best in class about 10 years ago when your only realistic options for backups were tape or hard drive.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
half a second to add in another extension to a list of extensions
see this is why you powershell everything you can
since devs will never go back and fix even the easiest things :P
copy *.tif *.tiff
suck it, powershell
you just doubled everything
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Fucker was just straight up not straight. The right vertical side bowed forward almost half an inch. I could pop open the optical drive and see the bend in the frame.
This was a replacement for one they shipped us that was DoA.
"hilariously" that's one of the few batch commands you can't just drag and drop into powershell, since copy/move/ren are aliased to powershell cmdlets
but I would probably make the whole script into a generic extension renaming script anyway, with parameters for folder, old extension, and new extension
that way it's reusable!

have you considered maybe you are a failed programmer vowels
I mean pretty much yes.
If my parents had understood computers better and hadn't been dealing with a messy divorce in my late teens I probably would have been properly shepherded into a CS degree and learned how to do shit, popped out of college into a cushy dev job and been making more than I am now for the last decade.
I also probably would have ended up as an insufferable libertarian as well so I think it's a wash.

man...I have absolutely 0 professional use for programming at the moment, but I always kind of miss it in the back of my head. I never got too deep in it; it was mostly my dad making me try and do something productive with all of my computer time (apparently IRC wasn't productive WHO KNEW)
As it gets more complicated I start losing the plot and my understanding of what I'm looking at and writing drains out of my head.

you're already doing it in power shell though!
and we have a programming thread
and I'm basically the resident c# guy with @echo picking it up and there's like 2-3 duders who do it professionally in chat (Reiman and dk have both dabbled in it)
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
yeah this shit's been free since the tail end of 2014 (when they started community edition), almost immediately after they dropped 2015 into the community edition. Then just a few weeks ago 2017 dropped.
Make sure you snag the productivity power tools, you can hold control and click on variables names and it'll show you where you created them, easily the best feature of it.

I know a lot of shit and have near a decade being an IT guy
going back to noob is unappealing
not to mention the job market doesn't seem too hot anyway
sure lots of positions open for every company's hyper-specific role
but seems real hard to actually land a job, going by my programmer friends

it's actually funny because about 5 years ago a lot of people thought that pure IT roles were going to go away becuase everything was in the cloud, but all that ended up happening was that IT actually became more needed as even if you moved everything to the cloud you still needed people to manage that.
And really 99% of the time people ended up on hybrid solutions which are actually harder to manage than either full in house or full cloud anyway.
Personally where i see IT going is more towards BA/project management stuff. IT will only become more integrated, not less, and those who can do more BA type work and integrate with other business units, etc, will end up being the most useful/successful long term.
Yeah Business IT is more about managing contracts and integration solutions rather than maintaining hardware.
There will still be actual IT at the bigger companies that actually do that kind of work still, though. But a lot of it is less innovation or anything and more break/fix kind of work since there's lots of failover and redundancy. It's the job of the software to handle the issues, not the IT guy to jerry-rig something together.

yeah IT roles will go away as soon as every vendor implements their solutions with perfect interoperability (no) or we invent hard AI (followed by the robocalypse)

Funny, I was at a Veeam lunch and learn today, actually. Hosted at a steakhouse, pretty swanky and good eats.
Presentation wasn't that bad. Brought my lead dev because I was joking about now he's made it, a true professional. Getting to eat lunch on vendor dime!
Not only did he get a free lunch but he won the door prize. I'm so proud. *sniff*
I never counted before today but it turns out I am the primary support contact for 239 users.
I'm surprised I get as few tickets as I do.

It's cheap.
is it even that cheap?
it's like $600+ right?

visual studio 2017 is free man
you'd like it

I've contemplated making the switch to full on IT because it's less hassle and less frustrating

Snowed at lunch today.
55 right now.
