I just ordere this from Amazon.
Intel NUC NUC7i3BNK Mini PC/HTPC, Intel Dual-Core i3-7100U 2.4GHz, 16GB DDR4, 4k Support, Dual Monitor Capable, Windows 10 Professional 64Bit (16GB Ram + 256GB SSD)
I plan on using this to run Docker to host services, mainly a bunch of Ubuntu instances for home automation. I was thinking of upgrading this to Server 2016. Do you think that will be a problem?
One thing I want to do is take a backup of the entire OS before I turn anything on. I have Veeam on a usb disk and want to boot to that and take a full image in case I need to do a bare metal restore. I’ve noticed on newer systems that sometimes I have to fuss with the BIOS (security settings) in order to see the drive. Do these intel nuc machines have the same issue? I plan on partitioning the drive for OS and Data. Are there OS backup strategies for bare metal restore I should look at? Veeam has been reliable, but I’m curious about new methods.
