The following MSDeploy string supplied to the command line results in an error. Can anyone shed any light on this?

"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\\msdeploy.exe" -source:package='D:\dev\Project\obj\BuildConfiguration\Package\Project.zip' -dest:auto='Website Name',computerName='computername',userName='username',password='password' -verb:sync -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -allowUntrusted -debug

We want to expose a web-app over the Internet. The obvious solution is to make it available over HTTP with TLS and RBAC.

Would locking access down even further through the use of a VPN enhance security, and if so how? As I understand it, a VPN would certainly add hassle to use as the client would need a VPN client, and concurrent network activity might be constrained when connected to the VPN.

I would like to create a scheduled cloning of a hard disk with Acronis.

There will be multiple virtual machines running off the hard disk being cloned (using Xen).

Does the virtualisation have any implications for the backup, or will everything proceed as normal, regardless of what is on the disk to be copied?

Furthermore, in this scenario, how should I install Acronis? (on the hypervisor?), or am I going about this completely the wrong way?

Thanks

I'd like to create a server suitable for having a hot-spare disk, plus the capability to create full backup for removal off-site, say once a week.

I am considering the HP ProLiant DL160 G6 (with hot swap) rack server (spec here).

Obviously configuring the server for RAID 1 with 2 disks will enable the hot-spare in the event of a single drive failure, but will this server support the ad-hoc backup capability I need for the offsite side of things?

I envisage having say 6 additional, spare HDDs,for say 6 weeks of backup and labelled accordingly. The admin would bring the appropriate HDD to the server at the end of the week, insert it in one of the spare hot SATA slots and kick start the disk cloning process.

Can I get a server to perform the "cloning" automatically upon insertion and then notify the user via a light (assuming the server is headless, apart from RDP)?

Or is there a better way to achieve what I'm after?

Thanks.
