Will do for sure - it will take some time as I am one that considers a lot of options before jumping into something. Mac has got quite a nice system too. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Hale, Jim Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:29 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Windows Home Server John, Let us know how it goes.

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. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2236186,00.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Home_Server John W.
