An interesting point about Windows 2008 R2 (it's only 64 bit) is the
replacement backup utility cannot both save from a particular drive and
store the backup to the same drive. So, if I were crazy enough to build
a server with just a "C:" drive I would have to set the target for the
backup file to a network share, as I can't store it on the "C:" drive
(because I'm saving data from the "C:" drive.
This pretty much indicates that one needs at least three drives for a
Windows Server; one for the O/S, one for the backup file, and one to
store all the data that needs saving. There didn't seem to be too much
difference in backup speed using a network share as a target vs a local
share, but one would think there would. Go figure...

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to play with it. It just looked like
it treated C:\ like XP treats c:\windows\system and warns you away from it.
I was wondering if it would prevent you from creating directories as well as
files.
I would have rather they fixed all of the tools to work with spaces - but
then again - I still can't make myself create anything with a space in it.
My current bear is Outlook keeping the .ost file in a hidden directory under
Documents and Settings. My backup software seems to be smart enough to find
the directory so that I can check it to be backed up, but not smart enough
that I can find it when I want to restore!?!?!?

I wonder if Windows 7 complains about any writes to the "C:\" drive.
This would be a good thing, but still, some applications install into
"C:\Program Files (x86)", so that directory must allow writes along with
"C:\ProgramData" (notice how they seem to have removed their heads from
that dark space by eliminating spaces in one of their primary
directories in "C:").
I don't seem to have any problems writing to "D:" or beyond.
