Milestone 3 (Backup Virtual Machine)

Using the Backup Chain application, I was able to navigate and attempt to backup any file or virtual disks that I had on my machine. I did a VMware Backup in the application, and I backed up the folder that stated "Windows Server 2016." This folder contained the VM for VMware. The folder began to backup into an external hard drive:





After waiting a little while for the backing up process, I began to prepare the restoration process for the file. I selected my backup folder as my location to be restored and placed the contents in a new folder to be replaced. This folder was named "Restore."



I restored the folder in the VMware application.




Once I created a new VM in VMware, I removed the hard disk that was automatically created in the setup. I replaced it with the restored hard disk.

Milestone 2 (Setup IIS and FTP Server)

It did not display the text that I had written. Instead, this url redirected me to a bunch of junk information and text. I had known a little bit afterward that I did something wrong in the setup. It was either that or I did not enter the correct url. Advanced settings of the IIS Site      After changing the url to localhost.testing.html, I was able to get my resulting message. This part of the milestone gave me the most trouble and took up the most of my time. After correcting this error, I proceeded to work on the ftp site. The advanced settings of the ftp site are displayed. After setting rules for the ftp site and changing the port to 21, I am finally going to attempt to wrap up the remaining requirements for this milestone. ...

Milestone 7 (Testing the Exclusion Tab)

For this milestone, I can finally get into software testing. Specifically, I am working on the exclusion tab in the BackupChain application. This tab is available in order to exclude any unwanted files from backing up. Once I select a file to back up, I then select a location for that file to be backed up into. The selected file will have multiple contents inside. This means that many different things will be backed up unless I exclude any specific file that I do not want backed up. In a pictures file called "Test," I have two photos. One is a picture of the windows logo, and the other is a picture of the recycling bin icon. I am going to backup the entire "Test" file, but I do not want to back up the recycling bin icon, named "Bin." For this software test, I will be using a file backup. The name of the file that I want to back up is "Test." Name of the back up location will be called "BackupPic2" In the exc...
