Top Five Qualities of a Good Backup Solution for Windows Server 2016
The time has come, and you are ready to migrate to Windows Server 2016. As part of your migration process, you will back up your old server, and then perform an upgrade according to Microsoft recommendations. Good plan, no doubt – but there is one question – will your backup solution cope with your plan? Does it actually support the new Windows Server? Unfortunately, a number of backup solution vendors are lagging behind when it comes to supporting the latest versions of operating systems. If your company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, you may be under increased pressure to upgrade as soon as possible, especially if Microsoft is planning to apply the Modern Lifecycle Policy to the Windows Server product line that you use.

Acronis Backup 12 Closer Look — Mac Backup
Having spent more than quarter of a century in IT I have to admit that I am not a Mac user. Like many others, I have other Apple products, but I never used a Mac for a long period of time. My fingers are wired to use a 104-key PC keyboard, not the 78/109 keys of a Mac. I don’t have an idea what the “Command” key is, or what it does. For sure, I am not alone. It’s no surprise that many other IT departments try to avoid doing anything on a Mac. They even go as far as “We do not support Macs” statement I’ve heard so often in many companies.
