Good UPS for two machines

I have two mac pro which are used as file servers, so use the power minimum and idle most of the time. I would get a UPS that could hold them for 5-10 minutes (time for a script to execute in order to turn off the power). APC seem to have some nice models and I think that the SC620i would be a good choice but cable management appears to be serial. Can anyone recommend a good UPS for me that has a usb connection and a software for a mac to allow me to run a script to stop the machine.

Thank you

APC builds good material and wait a couple of years of life on their part before the batteries die, and that becomes the true cost. for other questions, you can start here

  • Good size of disk RAID 1 for Time Machine

    I have a Mac Mini with a Fusion 1 TB drive. What is the recommended size for a backup drive in a RAID 1 using Time Machine configuration?

    The general consensus is that player TM (or readers in your case) should be twice the size of Mac disk.

    and then for Intel RAID > http://pondini.org/TM/2.html

    I use a mixed bag of backups, relying more on several clones CarbonCopyCloner as Time Machine for two reasons.

    1. If you have no problem with boot drive, you can start a CCC clone and continue working.

    2. it is faster and easier to restore from a clone of the CCC, rather than re - install OS X and then restore data from TM.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

  • The AirPort Express Terminal is good enough for me?

    I need a new wireless router to replace my Netgear WNDR4300 'antiques '.  The network is only 2-3 laptops and iPhones 1-2 at a time, over a printer and Chromecast device.  We occasionally video stream, but not often.  Critics say the AirPort Express is best purchased as an add-on to an existing network, but I can't justify more expensive options from the airport.  I don't need the 11ac 802 that offer other options, and it seems that margin would be a problem, because it is limited to 5 GHz.  We have a two-storey house. Is the simple terminal AirPort Express good enough for my home network?

    The AirPort Express, pourraient deliver similar performance to your old Netgear router in terms of signal strength and the beach... but the only way to know with certainty if the Express will be good enough for your needs is to try in your home.

    Try to locate the Express up high on a shelf or Cabinet, if you can, to help in the dissemination of the signal.

    Fortunately, if you buy through Apple, you have one day 14, no questions asked return privilege, so if the Express does not provide the performance you need, you can return the unit for Exchange or a refund.

  • How much space for Time Machine backups

    Hello

    Is there a rule for how much space you may want to allow for Time Machine backups?

    I would like to partition the drive to have a room reserved for Time Machine back ups only.  I realize that it is a personal preference.

    Each individual backup occupies approximately 790 GB.  But somehow I have 6 months of backups that supposedly take up only 880 GB on the disk.

    At this time the backups of my other drive back to 6 months in time.

    Fortunately, I never had to go back a few more days to recover a file.

    Is there a reasonable amount of space to allocate for backups, based on current usage of disk?

    Thank you

    Minimum would, of course, the size of the internal drive.

    Double the quantity is sufficient

    Triple the amount if you want a value years from TM backups

    I am convinced that these are independent external drives from your main hard drive of Machines

  • UPS for workstation hp z 840

    Hi guys,.

    We bought a new z840 and z 640 hp workstation. right now we are little confused about buying a UPS for my computer. the people where we bought the workstation suggest buying UPS apc.

    they give us the option to 3 ups

    1. APC 1500-980 watts
    2. APC 1300 - 2000 watt
    3. APC-1980 2200 watt

    According to the product page of the hp z840 have a diet 1125 watt and z640 925 watts required Power suply. Anyone have any suggestions?. We will use two monitor for each workstation that consumes 20 watts per each (27 inch led screens). can I use the apc 2200 for two or more workstations? any help?

    I would be more than enough for two workstations with monitors the APC 2200.  I use a much smaller for my computer and the monitor with no ill effects.  Just be aware that if the power goes off and no one is around to shut down computers, etc. that the INVERTER will be only last a while, then the computers need to be stopped.  Using the PowerChute Software will stop the computers in a predefined time assuming that the software is configured correctly.

  • WIDI software upgrade not compatible but is listed for my machine - IMPOSSIBLE of INSTALLER

    I have a laptop DV6t - 7000 Quad Edition CTO with intel core i7-3610QM processor clocked than Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  It is compatible Widi and running version 3 of the Widi software.  The HP Web site lists an update for Widi (version 4) and when I try to install, I get "Installation interrupted.  "Platform is not compatible with Intel Widi or the application is in use".  Does anyone know how to get around this problem?  More information: if I do a check of updates after launch Widi version 3, he sent me to the Intel site and said that there are updates for my Intel HD 4000 Grapics and my wifi adapter.  These two are later than those listed on the HP Web site.  Intel also recommends the ly use drivers that are approved by the OEM.  Well, I'm using the latest drivers that HP offers.  So, on a whim, I tried to install the updates from Intel, and alas, they would not install saying that they are not approved for my hardware.  So, how did someone use their Widi?  Or maybe the better question is someone bothering with this?  It looks like we have other options such as Apple TV, etc. CromeCast.

    UPDATE - corrected a problem.  I finished downloading the soft pack for widi update from the HP website and tried to install one more time and I got a message saying that the graphics driver cannot find or load the necessary components.  So, I then downloaded and installed the driver of graphics soft pack listed for my machine.  Installation was made on top of the existing one and then I went backand tried one last time to run the update pack soft widi (version 4.2).  This time it is installed without problem.  It seems that something happened to my graphics driver.  My system embedded chipset Intel Graphics HD 4000 as well as a higher onboard NVIDIA GeForce GT650M / 2 GB GDDR5.  I am pleased to report that all is well again.

  • IDS 4215, good place for an interface sniff (LAN or DMZ)

    I have this sensor with two interfaces only at work, I was asked to check that

    See the IDSWORK version #.

    Application partition:

    The Cisco Systems Version 1.0000 S47 Intrusion detection sensor

    2.4.18 - 5smpbigphys-4215 OS version

    Platform: IDS-4215

    an interface that is Ethernet 0 connected to switch in the DMZ, and 1 Ethernet connected to switch 4005, logically I have to monitor DMZ not switch box 4005 (since I had only two interfaces, my case), I'm right?

    That means that ethernet 0 should be to sniff (surveillance) since it is connected to the DMZ and interface 1 for command and control, since it is connected to switch 4005, but according to cisco specifications

    http://Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/vpndevc/PS4077/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008055df7d.html#wp1051279

    FastEthernet0/0: Interfaces supporting VLAN pairs Inline (port detection)

    FastEthernet0/1: Interfaces do not support Inline (command and control Port)

    Note: Cisco has mentioned FastEthernet, one I had Ethernet, makes all the difference?

    Because I did not have this configuration, he made by another, should I change this?

    It seems that your credentials are equipped with the basic ports (2 x Ethernet) with E0 C & C port, while E1 is followed by port.

    BTW, Ethernet/FastEthernet ports are in fact the same.

    To monitor your DMZ segment, then place the E1 in this segment, as E0 on inside segment where in addition to directing the Manager of its web management or CLI interface box, you probably can use basic VMS that comes free with it.

    And since you have dedicated switch to host the entire DMZ segment, you can easily monitor box (SPAN) all and send all traffic to the IDS.

    If you need to change the configuration, you may need to test at least to verify signatures is enabled/disabled and pc/mgt host is allowed to access the box and so on. But it is a good practice for audit and review the new config/setup, as it is a security zone, you need to do to monitor trust and you talk about all the possible threats, attacks or violations.
