Did you know that Microsoft has a backup and recovery application that can backup Hyper-V? Neither did I.
Even better, DPM can backup:
- Hyper-V Standalone and Win Server 2008 Hyper-V
- Individual Virtual Machines in Hyper-V
- Virtual Server 2005
- Exchange 2007
- SQL Server
- And more!
In this video from VirtualizationAdmin.com, you can learn to backup Hyper-V using Data Protection Manager (DPM).

Exchange,
2007,
mailbox,
catchall
I recently read an interesting article over at the Petri IT Knowledgebase from IT Pro Tom Finnis about how to create a “catchall mailbox” in Exchange 2007. I found this very useful because, in most companies, you want to see what mail isn’t delivered anywhere. In that mail you may find mis-addressed mail that you can put in the right mailbox. After all, this could be mail that the CEO is looking for, right?

I have attended Cisco Live! (formerly Cisco Networkers) and I loved it. This year, Cisco will host Cisco Live 2009 in San Francisco from June 27 to July 2, 2009. As usual, it is a huge conference of over 15K people learning about Cisco technologies. To me, what is different this year, is Cisco’s new UCS strategy in which they claim they will conquer the datacenter (yes, the whole datacenter). Certainly, they will have some big announcements about it at Cisco Live 2009!
If you register before April 21, you can save up to $300.

Cisco,
ucs,
DataCenter
Recently Cisco announced their new Unified Computing System (UCS) and they say that it will change your datacenter. The video (below) starts off with “there is a movement afoot”… Sure, Cisco wants there to be a movement but will the movement catch on to datacenters around the world? That’s hard to say.
Certainly Cisco envisions having Cisco network devices, voice communication (unifed computing), and even, one day, servers? They offer a ton of information on their new DataCenter 3.0 / Unified Computing System (UCS) site and that is where YOU will have to research and decide for yourself if Cisco’s vision will come true in your datacenter!
