@USAFRet Done. Thanks! What happened to be the issue? 🤔

@Ralston18 That's what's confusing to me. As the OP, I don't see an option to choose best answer. I've never seen that before.. I don't see a light green bar to the side of the individual replies.

@Ralston18 Hey, I've been checking back to see if I can mark a response as solution, but for some reason I don't have the option to mark one on this thread. Feel free to mark your PowerShell response as best answer. Thanks!

Thanks all for the responses, I appreciate it very much! I have Veeam installed on the server now and am backing up to a TrueNas machine that I set up. I'll look into the possibility of PowerShell to further automate if necessary.

@Ralston18 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely look into backup scripts using Powershell. That may be a good way to automate backing up the large storage volume that I have on the server. Do you have any recommendations for a complete backup solution/program? I'm still learning...

Hi All, I'm currently running Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition on an HP Z640 Workstation. I also utilize Hyper-V and run VMs within the host. Up until this point I have been using the included Windows Server Backup program as part of the standard windows features. While it works fine for...

Thanks again for the help, faalin. You brought up some good points and I may find that the tool will not even let me convert from RAID level 5 to level 10. It may not be possible. I may have to resort to doing what you suggest, deleting the array, and creating a new RAID 10 array, carefully...

Thanks for the reply! To answer your question, yes, it could be considered a 'production' server. I run all of my personal data off of the machine, including my Nextcloud VM, Plex server, etc, and I want to have access to it at all times. Backups are done every day using Windows Server...

Hi All, I am currently running 4x 4TB WD Gold Re HDDs in my HP Z640 workstation/server. These drives are in a RAID 5 array using the built in Intel(R) C600+/C220+ series chipset sSATA RAID Controller. My goal is to convert the current array from its RAID 5 level to a RAID 10 level. I have...

You're very welcome, hopefully you found the information helpful! I foresee no compatibility issues with hardware-based encryption. If you're asking for the purpose of utilizing encryption, then you should still be able to encrypt a RAID disk after it has been set up. Feel free to reach out...

Hello, and welcome to the forums! If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking about compatibility between the controller, and any possible hard disk drives. According to the product brief, the PERC H730 is compatible with SAS and SATA disks. The controller should support basically any drive...

Okay, perfect! So the fact that HWiNFO sees both SSDs should be a good sign! I'd like to see if we can manually partition and format the drive using diskpart, which is a command line tool built into Windows. Below are the instructions on how to format the drive, if Windows can identify it...

Hi there! I see your thread slipped through the cracks here, and I thought I'd weigh in. First, I'd like to get some more information, if possible. It would really help me diagnose the issue! What exactly seems to be the issue while gaming? Is it slow loading times, bad framerate, or...

Thanks for the additional information! Keep me posted on what HWiNFO says. In the meantime, I also wanted to get some more information on some things from your original post. What did you mean that it doesn't show up in device manager or disk management? In the disk management GUI, does it...

Hello, and welcome to the forums! Hopefully I can help you out with the issue you're having with the SSD. I took a look at the manual for your motherboard, and it looks like the m.2_3 slot is processed through the chipset. I have a few questions and suggestions to help you out here: In the...
