I always enjoy learning how other people employ Windows Home Server. It is a great way to protect your data. However you are still vulnerable to physical disk failures and inadvertent deletions. I am wondering if you can check out a new CloudBerry Backup for Windows Home Server which provides you with another level of protection by copying your data to secure online storage powered by Amazon S3. You can download your copy at http://www.cloudberrylab.com/default.aspx?page=backup-whs

Paul, lots of us don’t want to learn how to build the car and redesign the engine, when knowing how to change the oil and spark plugs is hassle enough.

Nice article and product breakdown, not seen these before.

Why not save a good few and go for a Linux box, any old hardware and a big HDD though?

well the hp470 took a WD 2TB drive ($149, so not too much of a premium) in my last free slot no problem…

one complaint i have is updating the system drive looks kind of painful (and the hp470 came with a 512gb). i’d love to see an addin that helped the migration path be simpler than reinstall… something like cloning the system drive to a usb drive then

yea, I knew 1.5TBs are out, my wife has a few of them. The machine says there is a 1TB limit, I haven’t done any checking to see if that was a limit of what was available at the time, or if it’s some volume size limit. I’ll look into that before I buy another drive. The Acer doesn’t do Mac unfortunately, I wish, but I got the thing for $100, so I can’t complain.

I like the HP models myself having got one when they first came out. They also have mac backup options, does acer add that? btw: you should be able to get to 8TB, 2TB drives are starting to be cheap enough to make that reasonable. or at least during thanksgiving weekend they were
