Vorlon,
     I dont mind bringin those things down as they are not not mission critical for anything. They mostly run the BBSs and my BBS website. My Linux server is another thing. That does run my WordPress Server and my remote access tools but i do not need them and the backup of all 3 VMs are done within 15 minutes. It is super quick actually. I was going to change the Windows backups from Stop backup because I do have to babysit them because sometimes they dont shut down.

Yeah.. I do have the Server 2019 Datacenter license but i have not seen any VMWare license but i believe ESXi can be installed for free. I am pretty good at windows and for now i am just testing but i may reinstall or change over to ESXi with 2019 as a VM or Perhaps Proxmox. I am not sure if it will detect all of the hardware. That is what i am nervous about as i am not a Linux Expert. It has 24 DIMM slots and there is 58gb RAM right now. I plan on buying 16GB DIMMS until i get to 384gb RAM. 16gb DIMMS are pretty cheap. The seller has a ton of 4gb DIMMS in there.. I will slowly replace them as i replace them. I also plan on just buying 2gb SATA SSD drives. there is 7 SAS/SATA slots available. I dont think i need more than that for now. I have a QNAP with 21TB of space and an old Dlink NAS with 12TB.. lol I also forgot that my Proxmox has 4tb. lol WOW THIS IS GETTING LONG!!!!! lol
