As you add hard disk drives to the system your overall storage capacity simply grows larger by that amount. This technology allows you to add different or higher capacity hard drives as they become available without sacrificing space on the new drive for RAID.
This utilizes hard disk drive space more efficiently.

Selected folder duplication is superior to RAID in that you don’t have to duplicate those folders that don’t need duplication – for instance, TV shows and PC backups. Selected folder duplication works with both internal and external hard disk drives.

The HP MediaSmart Server uses a sophisticated technology in the Microsoft Windows Home Server software called “folder duplication.” For extra protection, selected shared folders can be duplicated on a separate hard drive on the HP MediaSmart Server. Is there a RAID option on the HP MediaSmart Server? They had better pretty soon or I'll jump my reading it is selective folder duplication - thus you could select all. Now I'm just waiting for Mozy to include support for it. So far I'm very happy with Windows Home Server. Also, here's the WHS team blog and their pretty clever advertising campaign about Stay At Home Servers.

However, there will apparently be a 64-bit Vista Connector for 64-bit folks (like some of my machines) available as on Windows Update in the near future.Ĭheck out We Got Served, the best Home Server Community site I've seen, especially their list of Home Server Add-Ins.

You will have to install the HP software on at least one 32-bit machine in order to "bootstrap" the server the first time. That was an unexpected treat, as I didn't know it had iTunes integration. The HP software adds another button as you can see above, with some additional features like an iTunes music server, so I have my iTunes protected music streaming from there to other instances of iTunes around the house, and my unprotected music streaming via Windows Media Connect to the Xboxes.

It doesn't run a domain, so we have to keep our password synchronized, but the Home Server Connector software warns you if they are out of sync and handles it. I've redirected both our "My Documents" and "My Pictures" using mklink.exe so we're both writing to the server seamlessly. Here's a screenshot of my setup showing 1.25 TB of space. ) and set it to backup my blog and website. Hm, I should make a SyncBack UI with the WHS SDK, or they should. Then I installed SyncBackSE on the Home Server itself (you're not supposed to install stuff on it that wasn't written for it, but SyncBack was a natural thing to want on it and it works great as long as you only refer to your Home Server by UNC path like \\server\foo. I robocopy'ed over about 70 gigs of data then backed up all the machines in the house. It defaults to the name "HPSERVER" and you get one opportunity to change it so I made it just "SERVER" so we've got \\server\software and \\server\users\scott, etc. Even better, the lights on the outside of the case turn Red if a drive is failing, Purple if there's a drive but it's not configured and Blue if it's configured, so I watch the lights go blue as I added each drive. Just shutdown, seat the drives, push them in, boot up and tell the admin console that the drives are cool to use.
There were NO tools required and no cables. Mine came with bays 3 and 4 filled with two 500 gig Seagates, so I added some other SATA drives I had lying around. The tooling on the hard drive enclosures is brilliant. You have to remote into it with the Home Server Software, which is really no big deal. It's headless, meaning it has no VGA or DVI port. Like maybe the size of 2 technical books. I took one of my Western Digital My Book External Drives and use it as a Backup to the Backup. The Home Server is so pretty I took it out of the Wiring Closet and put it in the Home Office. You might remember that I did a Podcast with the Father of Windows Home Server, Charlie Kindel. Fortunately I hadn't lost any data, since Home Server makes copies, but I was getting nervous with my existing hardware. I've been using WHS since Beta2 and was ready to tidy up my Frankenserver, which was largely a DIY (Do It Yourself) and I'd been having some hard drives go belly up lately. There's two versions, the 500gig and the 1TB. Yesterday I received my HP MediaSmart Windows Home Server in the mail.
