Not yet, I'm a bit waiting until I have more choice in available
hardware.

Hey, is anyone out there using this?  I just stumbled across it and it
looks
WOW.  Automatic backup of all Windows XP and later machines.  AUTOMATIC.
Automatic raid 1 if there are more than 1 disks.  Add a disk and it is
just
absorbed into the borg for storage.

I am soooo going to do this.  It will back up my Windows 2K3 servers (OS
and
files), my laptop, my wife / son's laptops, email etc.  The forums claim
that it only stores a file once EVEN IF IT IS ON MULTIPLE COMPUTERS.
thus
music and photos will back up only once even if they are duplicated on
my
laptop and my wife's laptop.  Photos dumped onto any laptop from the
camera
gets automatically backed up that night to the WHS.  I am in SUCH deep
doodoo over some kid pictures that somehow went missing.  No more deep
dodoo.  It just sounds awesome.
