I've been using fairly conventional backups, but recently bought a small HP Proliant to run Windows Home Server 2011. I had a WHS1 system last year, but decided to revert to Windows 7 backups to big cheap SATA drives instead, while awaiting the release of WHS v2.
Now, I'm waiting for the release of the drive pooling add-in for WHS that DataCore have in beta (though I think it will be expensive)- DriveHarmony <http://www.datacore.com/DriveHarmonyWebHelp/about_driveharmony__software.ht m> - it allows addition and subtraction of HDDs (with a little attention to the RAID status = what they call protected or unprotected disks). ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bec Carter Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 2:06 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: [OT] Backups All this talk of SSDs and HDDs failing has got me a little scared to lose my data. I just have one main folder with everything in there on my laptop and copy this thing to my USB drive as backup - I manually do this.... i'm starting to realise this is not enough. How do you all do your backups? Cheers Bec
