For instance, I might have software, or data accessible by software, or functions performed by software, that would only run (or at least would only run the way I preferred) on Windows 7.
I had seen situations where it might continue to be useful for me. That did not mean Windows 7 ceased to be useful. But for most users and most purposes, Windows 7 ceased to be a relatively secure operating system this past January 14. Microsoft did continue to offer Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 for businesses, at a price, on an annual basis until January 10, 2023.
We had previously seen that, on rare occasions, Microsoft might still issue security updates to protect against special threats. This meant that Microsoft then ceased to provide updates. I have plenty of storage available - 18TB (2, 4, 4, 8 WD Red EFRX drives).Windows 7 reached its official end-of-life date on January 14, 2020. If answer to 1 is yes, is my 9 year old server up to the task? I know I will have to upgrade the memory to at least 8GB. Is FreeNAS a good choice for the use case described above?Ģ. I would also backup less frequently to Backblaze's B2.ġ. Current thinking is I would run Veeam Windows agent on my Win 10 PC and backup the data (daily) and image (as required) to the NAS. I now only have one PC on the network and will use the NAS almost exclusively for backing up my 2+ TB of data, mostly photos and videos I shoot. It occurred to me that perhaps something like FreeNAS (TrueNAS core) might work for me in my original server hardware. To that end I purchased a Synology DS418play with high expectations that it would fill the bill, but I have had problems with the unit and it is now being sent back. It worked so well that I wish there was WHS 2020 because I am in search of a suitable replacement. Over the ensuing years it worked as expected and required very little care and feeding. This was used with WHS 2011, primarily to backup my small network of 3 PCs. About 9 years ago I finished my first ever server build with help from STH ( build post here).
