CryptoLocker Protection for Server Agent?

Post by AlexLeadingEdge »

Maybe I'm missing something, but where is the cryptolocker protection when a Server licence is used?

We have a client where their USB drives are dying an a very high rate, and we believe is is a wetware issue, that staff are being a little too rough with the USB drives that they change each day. We would like to use the Cryptolocker protection to eject the USB drive after the backup is complete so that it reduces the chances that they yank out the cable while the platter is still spinning and then walk away with it to replace it with the next one, giving it a little shake while they're walking.

The problem with not using the Server licence is that it appears that we have to do a backup straight away after the drive is changed? The wording seems to imply it. We have set the backup not to run more than every 20 hours as a workaround but it seems to ignore the fact it has just done a backup. Perhaps it picked up the last back to the newly replaced drive was from a week ago?

After a little testing I see that it seems to take the 20 hours from the first time the backup is run after the change.
