We are storing an sql db on a iscsi mounted volume and even when there are very minor changes or none at all I have noticed that a new snapshot file is created as I told it to every 2 hours. This is fine, but why is the size always atleast ~100MB? At 1.2GB a day this seems to be a waste. I guess I c...
I beleive the problem is related to sid's. The two machines are based from the same virtual machine and for some reason vmware is not prompting me to create new sids. These two machines are not part of a domain and I noticed there were items in the event log related forced network elections. The com...
I have gone through the directions you have given and have found they don't work. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I will detail my results. Restoring Individual Files: Step 4: Snapshots are not listed in the "open image" dialog, only files of type ibv. If I specify the exact filename,...

What I would like to do is also have a mirror of the volume that can be mounted that is 2 hours behind the original volume in a case where ...
I appreciate that it is not correct licensing. The question was to verify if the software actively disables itself. For the sake of testing I wanted to replicate the exact configuration on both server, these are not production machines but only for testing. Next time I will use a test license; howev...
We have purchased the professional version of starwind and I am testing it on two seperate machines. Just to verify, does starwind disable itself or fight for a license on the network if it sees another machine using the same license? The behavior I am getting is that on one machine the service will...
I don't know what "RO mode" is, can you expand on that? My goal is not to restore specific files only, I would like to roll the entire volume back. But even if I was doing one file, what does not make sense to me is how to specify what snapshot. As I recall the open dialog does not display...
