View Full Version : Integrating my WHS into my network

This December I finally pulled the trigger after a year of vascillating on Windows Home Server. I picked up an HP MediaSmart Server LX195.

Now I'm in the process of integrating it into my network.
I finally got successful backups of my main laptop when I excluded the folders down to the 80GB of data that I care about. The 200GB "bare metal" backup always choked. Data oriented backups wll be the way to go for now.

Currently I use LiveSync to transfer my (and my wife's) data to a Windows XP machine running MozyHome.

I would like to have my WHS be the central point for data redunancy, but since MozyHome does not support WHS, it may not be that simple. I even considered moving to Carbonite, but they don't explicitly support it either.

The data that I'm backing up doesn't need to be readily available as our laptops are still the point of access and management.

I would also REALLY like to remove LiveSync from the equation since it is flakey and has limitations on the amount of content it can support.

Any thoughts?
