Introduction

In this post, I will write about using the file-based backup feature in vCenter v7.0. Surprisingly, this feature has been available since vCenter 6.5. But, until recently, I hadn’t heard much about it.

Before getting started, you should read through the list of considerations and limitations of using file-based backups for vCenter. You can find the entire list on VMware’s documentation site.

This post is one of those times where I put tech aside. So, if you are only interested in tech-related blog posts, then you may want to skip this one. If I caught your interest (W00t!!), then please continue.

“MacGyvering” My Career Path

My career path didn’t follow a traditional plan or approach. But, then again, does that really happen to anyone? If you can say yes, then good for you. When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a garbage man. Yes, I know that isn’t politically correct today, but this is my blog. At one point, I also considered being a fireman. I think, as a little boy, many of us had these grandiose plans. Oh, to be seven years old again!!

It’s been a long time since I last updated this series. I apologize to anyone who is following it and lost interest. I hope to be quicker in future series I write.

Introduction

In this post, I will walk through what I do to publish my blog to Github. I use private and public repositories and GitHub Desktop. This way, I can do some testing in my private repo before pushing it to my public repo.
