Comment on Backup options for SQL Azure by Niall

Your right, I have moved away from Azure with work now. I guess I’ll have to trim out some of the very outdated stuff soon.

I’ll give you that shameless plug for your backup software as Microsoft have dragged their feet for too long to produce a slick backup option for Azure

This blog is a bit outdated, but the topic is still really important. Here are a few updates: There is now an import/export functionality available from within the Azure Management portal. It works well, but is limited in functionality. You also have Enzo Backup that comes with a free license for its Standard Edition. And at some point in the future Microsoft will offer a Point in Time restore capability; no firm timeframe on this yet.

Comment on Seagate 2TB ST32000542AS CC35 Firmware upgrade by Danno_AU

Thanks so much for this post!!!!

Fixed a 2TB ST32000542AS today after having to force it with the command in your post. Did not suffer any data loss. Without the clear instruction here I would have been at a loss.

Will see how it goes, I do think the click is still there but way less frequent and definitely WAY quieter than before!!! It’s passing all tests in seatools ATM….

Ive got a full backup of the drive on a new one and plenty of time left on warranty so I will be punishing this drive for a while.

Many thanks again.

Hi,
Yes, I meant add it to the Useful Resources list in the post above, not to your tools page.

Thanks again!

I’m sure some people will find it useful so I’ll approve posting your link in the comments but I only add my most used or valued resources to my tools page

Comment on SharePoint site suddenly Read Only even for Administrators! by Niall

Hi Asher, I think that is one of the possible causes, but being SharePoint there are a few more lurking too!

Thanks this saved me some hassle!

I have a feeling what caused our site collection to lock was no disk space on the DB server – SharePoint must lock the collection if there is no DB space available?
