Another project I need to work on is osTicket. This is an open source work 
order system which would be great for both my department and our 
maintenance department. The problem here is that their documentation is 
sketchy (and I think intentionally so to sell their support services). 
osTicket simply requires a LAMP setup to run and I somehow stumbled my way 
through that to give ourselves a sandbox for practice. Here are some 
questions I have.


   1. I set this up on a virtual server with VMware. My experience is 
   limited here too. What's a good set of numbers for allocating hard drive 
   space and RAM for this server? Also, what is thin provisioning and should I 
   use it?
   2. Backups are important. I see where VMware allows me to take a 
   snapshot of the server and would think this would be the simplest way to 
   run backups. We are using the free version of VMware so does that mean I do 
   not have the ability to automate snapshots?
   3. If I cannot automate snapshots how do you backup the mySQL database 
   and then restore it if the need arises?
