Windows Home Server is almost here, and I am happy!
From Ars Technica: Windows Home Server released into the wild
I have just had to do the first full system restore using WHS because of persistent disk problems on my main hard disk (honestly, I think it was due to trying to run both the SMP and GPU versions of Folding@Home, but what do I know).
Sweet Mercy, I am not afraid of disk failures any more! Well, okay, drive failure on the WHS where I keep my iTunes library and such, that would suck. I hope the WHS duplication scheme helps.
I was just so nice of an experience doing the restore to a new drive, and I didn’t even have to reactivate windows…maybe be a benny of using WHS beta so that we would actually try the restore a bunch of times? I did the restore twice, once on a smaller drive just to get things going, and once on a brand new larger drive.
Anyway, I am going to get a version of this as soon as I can afford it (aka a few days before my beta expires…lol).
