There is seriously no wireless solution for music on the iPhone?!??
You can buy a stereo bluetooth headset that has an adaptor, I have one.
The iPhone supports connecting to hands free car kits and headsets via bluetooth.

  • Help needed for choosing Cisco recommended VM Backup solution for UCCE & CUCM 8.5

    Hi
    We are planning to install a reliable backup solution for our UCCE platform ( ESX(i) 4.x & 5.x  )
    if someone can share the details of Cisco recommended VM ware backup solution for UCCE 8.5 , it would be really helpful .
    Regards
    Renni John

    Hello,
    -    Snapshot procedure of VMs is not supported by Cisco for UCCE servers.  Please refer table "VMware Feature Support for Contact Center 8.0(2) through 10.x" on below link:
    o    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#Supported_Editions_and_Features_of_VMware_vSphere_ESXi.2C_VMware_vCenter_and_VMware_vSphere_Client
    -    Same above link refers to use "Copy" feature of VM to take backup of servers, but it is a very lengthy procedure which requires extensive command line knowledge of UCS.  Moreover VM should be shut down for this procedure.   This can be used as one time backup of server; but cant be used as scheduled back up method.

  • Looking for a headphones solution for 5th generation iPod

    So my headphone jack no longer works (technical problem). As a result I need headphones that plug in via the dock connector instead.
    A little over a year ago I bought (what I think was) a remote/headphones combo device that solved my problem. The remote plugged into the iPod, and then the headphones plugged into the remote. Problem solved.
    I have now lost this device, and whenever I ask the Apple Store for something similar they have no idea what I'm talking about.
    Any help in either identifying the device I had before or coming up with a new solution would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I'm ready to pull out my hair at the moment. I refuse to replace a $300 dollar piece of equipment just because I'm having trouble finding something that used to be on the market.

    SpringFaery, you didn't say what specifically is wrong with the headphone jack, so I don't know if this will help you or not. I have a 5th generation iPod 30GB that just started having problems with the headphone jack. One of the earbuds was losing sound intermittently. I checked the headphones on other devices and they're fine. The same problem happens when I try other headphones on the iPod, so I assume the problem is the headphone jack.
    I found another thread about sound problems with 5th generation iPods in this forum that said that pressing on one corner of the iPod fixes that problem, so I tried doing that on my iPod and it works fine now. I used a 2-inch binder clip and put it on the right side of the iPod, in the upper corner under the headphone jack. I have a leather cover on the iPod, so the binder clip is over that. The sound is back to normal now so I'm happy with this "usermod" fix. If your problem is similar maybe this can help.

  • Surround sound headphone solution for iMac in Bootcamp/Windows 7

    Hi all
    I have a 27" iMac which, unfortunately, in Windows, outputs only in stereo (I have NO idea why).  It has no PCI option that I aware of.
    I like to game in Windows 7 (dual booted) and have in my possession:
    Creative X-Fi USB 5.1 soundcard (http://us.store.creative.com/Sound-Blaster-XFi-Surround-5.1/M/B0017QQQAE.htm);
    Turtle Beach Earforce DSS;
    AKG K271 Studio headphones.
    I am using the CMSS-3D software with the X-Fi and getting okay results.  I have also tried plugging in the Earforce DSS via the optical out on the X-Fi (with CMSS-3D off) and have two different results:
    Movies/DVDs, etc. the Earforce clicks into Dolby Digital mode;
    Games (Dead Space, Metro 2033, etc.), I get only the Pro Logic light coming on.
    I can't tell much difference between CMSS-3D and the Pro Logic on the Earforce so am debating getting rid of them both (not the headphones, I use them for music) and going for another solution, as I don't think I can really get a very good performance from these.  I previously owned Astro Mixamp and A40 headset and thought they sounded fantastic on 360, really helped on Battlefield Bad Company 2, etc.  What I am using now just doesn't seem to measure up.
    So, any thoughts?  Logitech G35?  One of the Sennheiser ones?
    Cheers!
    Steve

    I have a G35 and the surround works great in Windows 7 under Boot Camp.  The headphones will also work in a basic way with OS X, but you'll only get stereo since there is no Mac version of the software

  • What is the recommended font management solution for an Enterprise deployment of Creative Cloud - Design edition (does not include TypeKit)?

    We are deploying Creative Cloud across multiple systems today and it was under the assumption that TypeKit came with all versions. Most of our team has Design edition - no typekit. How do you recommend we manage the fonts? Have been using Suitcase Fusion prior to our upgrade.

    Hi Jill,
    I would like to inform you that Adobe Typekit is an online service which comes with named user deployment only. i would suggest to manage your licenses through Adobe enterprise dashboard which enables online services for users. Please visit the article below for more info.

  • Best storage solution for collaborative editing between two editors

    Hello!
    I was wondering what would be a recommended hardware storage solution for collaboratively editing Final Cut Pro X Libraries. Our current process revolves us copying all the video footage onto a portable drive and copying it over to each others machine. This is a time consuming process and the process gets broken up if one of us isn't in the office. We are working only with 1080p (and less) footage and both machines are MacBook Pro's (both have Thunderbolt connections).
    I've dug around the internet and found network solutions (setting up another machine as a server w/ the storage drive there) but that setup seems like a lot of work.
    Is there another way to do it with a single shared drive, no additional computer setups that would allow us to edit videos concurrently? I'm not looking for a scalable solution, just something to allow us to edit from the same pool of  footage at the same time.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    If you want to edit concurrently, you are looking for a networked solution: either a drive on a server, like you mentioned, or a NAS (a drive connected directly to the network) or a SAN (storage area network, which is a more sophisticated, professional setup - that would likely be overkill in this case).
    In any case, you need a fast network - at the very least gigabit ethernet. There exist NAS options for a decent price.
    In this kind of setup, you would save all your media in the NAS, work on your libraries locally, and use "external media" - so the media would stay in the designated places in the NAS, and the libraries point to it. Libraries will be fairly small, and you could pass them around.
    In any case, you would share the media concurrently, NOT the libraries.

  • Looking for a headphone solution editing surround

    Looking for a headphone solution when editing suround environment in Soundtrack Pro 2. I have a Mac Pro. Is there any phones that would connect (direct or indirect) to the optical audio output, or do I need to buy a 5:1 speaker sound system with headphone jack?

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

  • What's the best storage solution for a large iLife? RAID? NAS?

    I'm looking for an affordable RAID storage solution for my Time Machine, iTunes Library, iMovie videos, and iPhoto Library. To this point I've been doing a hodgepodge of external hard drives without the saftey of redundancy and I've finaly been bitten with HD failures. So I'm trying to determine what would be the best recommendation for my scenario. Small Home Office for my wife's business (just her), and me with all our media. I currentlty have a mid-2010 Mac Mini (no Thunderbolt), she has an aging 2007 iMac and 2006 MacBook Pro (funny that they're all about the same benchmark speed). We have an AppleTV (original), iPad2 and two iPhone 4S's.
    1st Question: Is it better to get a RAID and connect it to my Airport Extreme Base Station USB port as a shared disk? OR to connect it directly to my Mac Mini and share through Home Sharing? OR Should I go with a NAS RAID?
    2nd Question: Simple is Better. Should I go with a Mac Mini Server and connect drives to it? (convert my Mac Mini into a server) or Should I just get one of those nice all-in-one 4-bay RAID drive solutions that I can expand with?
    Requirements:
    1. Expandable and Upgradeable. I don't want something limited to 2TB drives, but as drives get bigger and cheaper I want to easily throw one in w/o concerns.
    2. Simple integration with Time Machine and my iLife: iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto. If iTune's Home Sharing feature is currently the best way of using my media across multiple devices then why mess with it? I see "DLNA certified" storage on some devices and wonder if that would just add another layer of complexity I don't need. One more piece to make compatible.
    3. Inexpensive. I totally believe in the "You Get What You Pay For" concept. But I also realize sometimes I'm buying marketing, not product. I imagine that to start, I'm going to want a diskless system (because of $$$) to throw all my drives into, and then upgrade bigger drives as my data and funds grow.
    4. Security. I don't know if its practical, but I like the idea of being able to pop two drives out and put them in my safe and then pop them back in once a week for the backup/mirroring. I like this idea because I'm concerned that onsite backup is not always the safest. Unfortunately those cloud based services aren't designed for Terabytes of raw family video, or an entire media library that isn't wholey from the iTunes Store. I can't be the only one facing this challenge. Surely there's an affordable way to keep a safe backup for the average Joe. But what is it?
    5. Not WD. I've had bad experiences with Western Digital drives, and I loathe their consumer packaged backup software that comes preloaded on their external drives. They are what I meant when I say you get what you pay for. Prettily packed garbage.
    6. Relatively Fast. I have put all my media on an external drive before (back when it fit on one drive) and there's noticeable spool-up hang time. Thunderbolt's nice and all, but so new that its not easily available across devices, nor is it cheap. eSata is not really an option. I love Firewire but I'm getting the feeling that Apple has made it the red-headed step-child of connections. USB 3.0 looks decent, but like eSata, Apple doesn't recognize it exists. Where does that leave us? Considering this dilemma I really liked Seagate's GoFlex external drives because it meant I could always buy a new base and still be compatible. But that only works with single drives. And as impressive as Seagate is, we can't expect them to consistently double drive sizes every two years like they have been -cool as that may be.
    So help me out without getting too technical. What's the best setup? Is it Drobo? Thecus? ReadyNAS? Seagate's BlackArmor? Or something else entirely?
    All comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great.  i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive.  My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes.  I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV 
    I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.   

  • Solution for intermittent use of a single Adobe product?

    I may be a unique case, because I do not want or really need all of the products that Adobe provides my for $30/month. Here is my dilemma:
    I use Adobe illustrator infrequently, sometimes intensively for a month or so, but then I will not use it for the better part of a year. This is how I use the application.
    So, I'm feel that being financially penalized for continuing to use Illustrator, since I pay for it every single month of my life, but use it infrequently. For example, if I use the program 20 times in 10 years (which is about how I do use it), then I am paying (according to the current student deal which I am sure will change in the coming 10 years time), $3600.00 over the course of 10 years to use the program 20 times. That works out to $180.00 per use.
    Obviously I am not in good conscience able to renew my subscription with Adobe, and would have ended it earlier were it not for the severe financial penalty Adobe imposes on users for breaking a subscription contract before its official expiration.
    Before I go, I just wonder if Adobe has any care for users such as myself. I know one unsatisfactory response already: I can by the full version, not get incremental updates, and will need to pay full price for each major upgrade. That's a bad deal too. How can a infrequent user of a single Adobe product (Illustrator) use the application for a reasonable amount of money? I don't need every Adobe product under the sun nor do I like the fact that somewhere in Adobe's hierarchy they think that is some kind of advantage to users. To me, that is product bloat, bordering on spam marketing.If I want a sip of water, I have to drink from the fire hydrant. This is so bone-headed.
    I suppose, overall, I will advise my students to use what software the company they work for uses. But as far as a personal graphics package for independent work, I cannot recommend Adobe products anymore because of this pricing scheme, which really does penalize people who only use a product one in a while. But before I go, am I missing something? Is my assessment of this dilemma on target? I know I can no longer afford Adobe products, but I also want to advise my students in a way that is fair to them. Currently I am working on a module that shows all of the vector mapping graphics programs and breaks them down according to their feature set and cost for the user.
    I've been using Adobe Illustrator for over two decades, and I will be sad to not have it available to me in the future, but this new business model and pricing structure no longer makes sense for me. Yes, considering the time and energy I've put into the program this is an emotional decision, but ending my relationship with Adobe is the healthy choice. It's like walking away from an abusive relationship of the passive-agressive variety. Adobe, what a drag!

    On the face of it, the $30 for every monthly use seems like it might be a good solution for intermittent users. But, as a designers, I think many of us might like to take a brief look at an idea (sometimes just for the fun of it.) And so, if during one month I want to take a peek at some of my work with no real intention of doing any work, I would need to pay $30 to look at my own work. This kind of situation creates a kind of "double bind" for me. It's an uneasy feeling, having a kind of oppressive effect on the creative flow of ideas. Consider this case scenario: "I think I can improve that logo I did last summer. I wonder what this change would look like?" Well, to find out that will be $30.00. For me, that's an uncomfortable position. Again, thanks for the thoughtful reply.

  • Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Official solution for unlocking for an old iPhone 3GS

    Last summer, I purchased an iPhone 3GS together with a 2-year contract with Swisscom, one of the mobile telephone operators in Switzerland. A few weeks ago, my phone was stolen while I was on a trip. I contacted Swisscom and informed them that the phone had been stolen. They deactivated the old SIM card, and sent me a replacement SIM card. I reported the theft to the police too. My understanding is that the IMEI number of my old iPhone will be added to a blacklist so that it cannot be used on any mobile telephone networks anymore.
    My father, who lives in Texas, recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4. He extended his original contract with AT&T and simply moved his number over to the new phone. Because he no longer had a need for his old iPhone 3GS, he agreed to send it to me. At my suggestion, he went first to the Apple Store in Austin and requested that they unlock the phone. The folks at the Apple Store informed him that they could not unlock it. They suggested that Apple or the mobile carrier in Switzerland could unlock the phone.
    My father shipped his old iPhone 3GS to me, and I received it yesterday. This morning, I went to the Apple Store in Zürich and asked if they could unlock the phone so that I could use it with my Swisscom SIM card—the one Swisscom sent me to replace the one in my stolen iPhone. They told me that they could not do this, and that only the original carrier, AT&T could unlock the phone.
    What is the official solution for unlocking an old iPhone 3GS?
    I have posted this question to the AT&T discussion forum also.

    Does Apple have a recommendation?
    Read my post. There is nothing that Apple can do for you. The decision as to whether to unlock your phone or not rests entirely with AT&T, & they will not do so under any circumstances.
    I read your post, and appreciate your having taken the time to write it. However, I would like to get an official reply from someone at Apple.
    Apple is a company that prides itself on its commitment to the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
    http://www.apple.com/environment/
    Apple’s partner AT&T is also committed to being a good corporate citizen and protecting the natural environment.
    http://www.att.com/gen/corporate-citizenship?pid=8506
    Re-using old products to extend their useable lifetimes is one of the most effective ways of reducing the impact we have on the environment. When my phone was stolen, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to put this philosophy into action, using my dad’s old phone to use instead of just throwing it away, or leaving it on a shelf to be discarded later.
    I think it would be a shame if there were no officially sanctioned way to put an old device to good use.

  • Make your own Fax Server with Automator! (Pagesender solution for Mavericks)

    I have been scouring these discussion boards for some time now looking for a suitable substitute to PageSender, an awesome fax solution for the Mac from SmileOnMyMac LLC, which for some inexplicable reason stopped development and updates after OS 10.6.8. The result is that many small business office users who still rely on fax (and yes...no matter what they tell you, most of the business world DOES still use fax because it's legally binding and more secure than email for the transmission of legal documents or healthcare records, and does not rely on database integration accross different systems, which is sadly but very realistically still a long ways off), and no longer have a way to integrate faxes into a paperless or digital workflow office system.
    I suspect like many folks who receive faxes, those who used PageSender, used a very powerful feature to forward faxes by email, thereby turning your Mac into a Fax server that could distribute your faxes to other workstations and staff throughout the business via email. Presumably, if you have your own email server (Exchange, Kerio, AppleMail server, PostFix enabler etc.) you could distribute faxes on your own internal network, securely behind a firewall, and effectively create a digitial/paperless workflow for your faxes.
    Even if you have a USB modem or multifunction printer that allows you to recieve a Fax to your desktop (Apple's internal fax via printer preferences, and some HP models like the HP MFP 127fw) for example will allow you to recieve a Fax to a desktop folder or forward to a single email address. But the former is of limited functionaliy and the later only lets you send to an email address out over the internet with a registered public domain, which means you give up all control of privacy and means you can't process it through a private mail server to create a digital workflow for your office...
    ...Until now!!!
    I am happy to report that I have finally discovered a very easy and useable feature that will save a lot of time, money, and headaches for those looking to create a digital workflow and fax server system for a small office system. (I don't think there is any limit to scale here, but I suspect offices with more than 10 employees probably have a BizHub, or HP MFP/digital sender that can create the same process directly from the printer, but of course these come with a price tag of $2000 and up...).
    To accomplish this however, you will need some basic requirements which are as follows:
    1) A USB modem from either US Robotics or Zoom Modem. These are readily available from Amazon, MacMall or any number of other online vendors and work very well and seemlessly with all Macs running OSX right up through Mavericks
    OR
    A Multifunction printer that is capable of receiving faxes to a desktop Mac like the HP 127 fw. Other models exist from other manufacturers as well, but you will have to do a bit of research and probably check with the vendor or user manual directly to confirm that Fax to desktop is supported for Mac and OS 10.9.
    2) A dedicated Mail Server (MSFT Exchange, Kerio, MacOSX server with mail server enabled, or PostFix enalber or MailServe from Cutedge Systems)
    You will need to set up an email account on your server that is the parent for all incoming faxes from which the faxes will be sent out as part of your digital workflow. This is beyond the scope of this discussion but if you've come this far and you're still reading, you probably know  how to do this already. I recommend setting this up as a POP account, not IMAP. This way, the attatchments (your faxes) will always remain on your server as a back up, until you delete them from the server.
    3) Now simply go to System preferences and select "Printers and Scanners". Select either the Fax printer for your multifunction printer, or add a fax printer/reviever using the + button and select "Fax" if you are using a USB modem. You must have the USB modem attatched to the computer in order to use the built-in Apple Fax feature for the latter option.
    4) Now click on the receive options. Select "Recieve faxes to this computer" and set your ring answer settings. Check "Save to" and select the designated folder (either Faxes or Shared Faxes on your computer) or create a new folder. Depending on the volume of faxes, and your back up systems, you may want to designate a separate folder on a separate drive, exclusively for your Faxes. This is where all your faxes will be stored.
    5) Now launch "Automator" in your applications folder and create a new workflow. You will be presented with several options. Select "Folder Action".
    6) At the top right of the window space you will see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" . Select the Fax folder you created in step 4.
    7)On the left hand side of the "Actions" menu select "Mail"
    8) From the list of actions select "New Mail Message" this will take the latest Fax added to your Fax folder and attach it as a PDF to a new outgoing mail. In the "TO" address put the email address that belongs to the parent account your created for the Faxes on your mail server eg. [email protected].  In the subject field you can put "Fax Workflow" or any other generic subject that will identify to all reciptients that this is an email that contains a Fax/PDF attatchment.
    Under "account" use the SMTP account you set up on your mail server to handle the routing of internal emails. In most cases, this will be the same as the parent account created above. (Effectively, this account is sending and receiving emails to itself).
    9) From the list of actions, select "Send outgoing messages".
    10) Save the Automator workflow with a name like "FaxDistribution" or "FaxFlow".
    11) Go back to the Fax folder you created in step 4. Right click or option click on the folder and scroll down the options menu and select "Folder Actions Setup". You will see a list of scripts including the Automator workflow you just created. Choose it.
    That's it!! From now on, when you get a fax, it will get dumped into the designated fax folder, and this will automatically trigger the workflow to atttach and send it as an email to anyone in your office that is set up to receive emails with the "faxserver" address. You now have a paperless fax digital workflow server system for distributing your faxes digitally to anyone in your office who needs to review your faxes. Good luck!

    Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
    Current Setup
    SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
    Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
    Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
    This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
    Requirement
    A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
    C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
    Solution - What I believe are available to me
    I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
    Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
    Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Steve

    for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
    Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above).  you can only do read only.
    IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
    also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
    Hope it Helps!!

  • What is the best free backup solution for Hyper-V R2/2012? CSV support is necessary

    Hi,
    I need so guidance, please.
    I’m planning to deploy a free backup solution for my virtual environment and I need your advice. I have the following configuration:
    Failover Cluster:
    Two Dell Servers
    OS: Windows 2012 STD
    Each server has two AMD Opteron 4180 6C @ 2.6 GHZ
    16 GB – RAM (supports 256GB)
    QNAP NAS (CSV)
    It’s hosting a DC, an Exchange 2010 and soon a SharePoint 2013 VM
    Standalone Hyper-V:
    Dell Server
    OS: Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter
    It has two Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.2 GHZ
    16 GB - RAM
    It’s hosting 3 VMs
    In my research I found these apps. All of them are limited in some way but they do the job:
    Veeam Backup Free Edition v7
    Altaro Hyper-V Backup
    Unitrends Enterprise Backup
    PHD Virtual Backup for Hyper-V
    HV Backup from CodePlex
    Windows Server Backup (WSB)
    What is your experience with them? What would you recommend?
    When it comes to money, which one is more affordable? (In case I want to buy the full version)
    Thanks in advanced.
