Several years ago, I bought an HP EX485 that served as my backup solution until recently. The EX495 had Windows Home Server 2007 as its OS and I loved it. It simplified backup and recovery for all of the computers in my household. The ability to recover a single file or backup and restore complete images (similar to Symantec Ghost) was exactly what I needed. I rarely used any of the additional features or add-ins. Fast forward to today, I recently built a new entry level server specifically for Windows Home Server 2011. The updated user interface for WHS 2011 is refreshingly simple and less clunky than its predecessor. Administration is simple and straightforward, even for the novice. Besides computer backups, I use WHS 2011 as a centralized repository for music and movies, where I can stream them to other TVs in my home. There is at least one drawback I've found with WHS 2011. The drive extender has been removed. With drive extender, you simply plugged in a new hard drive and the Rating: [5 of 5 Stars]

Installed WHS 11 on a HP Microserver (8gb RAM, 3 x 2TB Drives). Had to install DVD drive, HD's and RAM on Microserver before install. WHS11 install took about an hour total. It was painless and easy. The new client connector software installs fast and easy also. Configuration is a breeze. Remote access requires a web address so I just went with Microsoft's "yourname.homeserver.com" url. Had an existing Ver 1 HP EX 470 so I just copied pasted the data over. I didn't transfer the PC backups from the old server. Couldn't tell you how to. I have a Windows Phone 7 and it works like a charm via the web based client. Can search and download files with ease. Xbox 360 works perfectly also. Drive Extender issue wasn't big for me. I have about 2 TB's worth of data and have the other two 2 TB drives back it up. If I double my data I can add a forth and final drive and have one of the other two backup drives back it up. If you have torrent and ripped DVD's in the tens of TB range WH Rating: [5 of 5 Stars]
