Longhunter State Park is a fair sized park in Hermitage. It dips into three separate counties. There are seven different hiking trails and one mountain bike trail that is labeled as being hiker friendly. The trails I have taken are all fairly level. The trail lengths vary between a quarter of a mile and eleven miles round trip. There is even a hard surface wide trail for people who have mobility problems so there is something for everyone. With the exception of the Volunteer Trail which has a great deal of lake washed trash along sections of it the trails are all very clean. All of the trails are well maintained. The park seems to be fairly busy on the weekends and I have seen people on some of the trails as I walked them but the trails are far from crowded.

Radnor Lake is a really nice small park. The park is very well maintained and well used.

To the best of my knowledge it has the highest elevations in a Nashville area park with the highest point in the park being on the Ganier Ridge Trail. Nashville just doesn’t have tall mountain areas so this is a nice change.

If I have a complaint at all about Radnor it is that it is so well used that it’s almost crowded. This is especially true on the flatter trails around the lake itself. I usually like to walk by myself to get away from people so crowded trails just are not my thing. The two times that I have been to Radnor Lake the parking lots were near capacity. The park itself makes up for this one small defect brought on undoubtedly by the park's own enjoyability.

About a month ago I decided I wanted to start walking the trails that are available in Nashville In the past I have hiked a little and when I go on vacation I like to check out the nature trails but I would not say I have ever really consistently hiked per se. My eventual goal is to walk all of the hiking trails available in the Nashville and surrounding parks. That’s a bit of a stretch since we have a number of state and city parks within Nashville and the surrounding area. But is should certainly be fun and it gives me a reason to go ahead and hit every little trail I can find.

At work we have decided to backup some of our Hyper-V servers to disk using the built in Windows 2008 tools and then back that up to tape for rotation. You will find instructions for this process in this article.

Enable VSS on the Hyper-V server

Install Windows Server Backup (WSB) feature

start /w ocsetup "WindowsServe Backup"

Edit the Registry

From command line:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WindowsServerBackup\ApplicationSupport\{66841CD4-6DED-4F4B-8F17-FD23F8DDC3DE}"

This is presented in the same vein as Lenny Zeltser’s How to Suck at Information Security.  If you have not read Lenny’s article it is highly recommended.

What makes a good backup solution?
