	On Tuesday evening, I powered off the webserver and clonezilla'd it. I thought I was having cloning issues, so I ended up doing that twice. Just as I was going to bed, I fired up Clonezilla from the blank VM and kicked off the restore... from my phone. I really missed having arrow keys, but otherwise that was a kick.

			Executed a backup of Attic2024 over to the NAS and then used the backup utility to restore it with a uniqueID. Threw in another gig of RAM for yucks.

	It will probably be a few days before the next steps, which is to remove the disks from the old server and stand up another ProxMox instance, then verify that backups work to where I can restore to a different ProxMox server.

	On Monday evening I stood up a ProxMox host server with some lesser hardware than the webserver (though it does have a wee bit more RAM). Established an ISO folder off the NAS and did some basic things. Set up a Win7 Home instance just to test getting a VM going: that went fairly well. Finding a 32-bit browser on the VM was the bigger challenge.		On Monday evening I stood up a ProxMox host server with some lesser hardware than the webserver (though it does have a wee bit more RAM).

On Monday evening I stood up a ProxMox host server with some lesser hardware than the webserver (though it does have a wee bit more RAM). Established an ISO folder off the NAS and did some basic things. Set up a Win7 Home instance just to test getting a VM going: that went fairly well. Finding a 32-bit browser on the VM was the bigger challenge.

On Tuesday evening, I powered off the webserver and clonezilla'd it. I thought I was having cloning issues, so I ended up doing that twice. Just as I was going to bed, I fired up Clonezilla from the blank VM and kicked off the restore... from my phone. I really missed having arrow keys, but otherwise that was a kick.

This morning, restarted the VM after cloning: "Booting from Hard Disk.." message. Same thing from last night where I had assumed it was the cloning. Ends up I needed to change the BIOS to UEFI and then add an EFI disk. BOOTS GALORE! Updated the network info and... well, this update is on the VM!

It will probably be a few days before the next steps, which is to remove the disks from the old server and stand up another ProxMox instance, then verify that backups work to where I can restore to a different ProxMox server.

All this for snapshots (I kid, there are many more reasons)!
