Hi Jason
Unfortunately I haven’t configured MSVC++ express 2010 yet. I’ve configured MSVC++ 2005 Express, 2008Professional, and remember it was pretty similar with 2005.

Have you ever configured MSVC++ express 2010 to work? I’m new to C/C++.

Tony より (English) Is backup the “killer app” for IBM Lotus Foundations Start server appliance? へのコメント

I agree with Gareth, IBM are great at keeping things like this a secret while silly companies like Microsoft market their software to people! How crazy is that!!

I live in New Zealand where Foundations Start would cover 90% of the business. Add to that Linux desktops with Symphony and you have Mail, IM, Productivity apps, Shares, DNS, Security, Back up etc etc all covered at a fraction of the cost of an MS solution. So yes thank goodness IBM keep it a secret of everyon might want it!

We’re a large organisation by NZ standards so it wouldn’t suit us, but the fact we’re migrating from Lotus Notes to Exchange at great expense for little gain, shows where IBM is dropping the ball

Let’s face it, IBM Foundations is just killer but it must be the best kept secret out there. Once people find out about this I think it will be the end of Microsoft SBS.

I agree that taking an IDB cartridge off-site is not the perfect solution. However, if it is done weekly, in case of disaster, you’re never more than 1 week behind.

I’m not familiar with NitixVault so I should research that a bit more. Regarding using an rsync cron job, I think that this is a great idea. My only reservations are that a business would have to have a server or PC running continuously off-site in order for rsync to run successfully. This might work well for a larger small business with a branch office where the two locations are linked together via a VPN or another type of secure Internet connection. However, for smaller businesses with no branch office it may be overly complex to link the owner’s home via the Internet, configure the routers to allow for a connection via rsync, and then have a PC running 24 hours a day for the rsync to run regularly. It could become a bear to administer.

As you said, a weekly off-site disaster recovery backup would be good for some, but not everyone. However, for many businesses it would definitely be a good start to have any kind of disaster recovery backup at all and Lotus Foundations IDB gives them an easy way to do this with just the extra expense of one or more IDB drive cartridges.

I agree about the value of the IDB in the Lotus Foundations Server, however I think there needs to be a bit more.

You make the point that DR can be facilitated by taking an IDB cartridge off site, however that limits your Recover Point Objective to being the date you last took the cartridge offsite. This will be OK for some, but not others.

The simple addition of a cron job to rsync the contents of the IDB to a NAS drive somewhere on the network, or offsite if desired, adds an additional level of safety. The cron job could run daily, or even hourly !

AFAIK the replacement for NitixVault is not out yet, but that would be the proper addition.

Thank you for the additional information about configuring RAID 1. This is a very cool feature.

Something else that may be unadvertised is the fact that even if you’re not running in a RAID, if you happen to add another hard drive, Lotus Founations will provide you with the option of adding that drive to a RAID 1 array without having to reformat or reconfigure the existing drive. So its not too late to take advantage of this feature

Gregg Ginsberg より (English) Blackberry Enterprise Server on Domino 8.0.2 stops delivering emails to handheld all of a sudden へのコメント

This is exactly why I’ve found that it’s best to keep up-to-date on RIM’s maintenance releases. This particular problem is related to the BES’s new rich text/HTML email capabilities.

If you’re not ready to patch your system to MR3 (the latest version), a workaround (especially if you do not have any devices w/ 4.5 or newer firmware) is to disable rich text / HTML email delivery to devices. RIM’s KB15931 has more info.
