Comment on Why the difference? by Toby

You cant really compare the two, once is an application the other is server Operating System. Last time I checked MSP 2007 didnt do any disk spanning, automated backups, drive balancing etc.
But yes, I feel your pain…

Comment on Backup error by Handy Backup?

I had very similar situation with a program called http://www.handybackup.net“target=”_blank”>Handy Backup. It successfully backed up a partition which had its size different that initial size that took place when I created a backup task. And then, when I tried to restore this backup, it ALSO re-wrote contents of the second partition (i.e. sectors specified in the task earlier). I mean, when I installed Windows 7, I decided to make a system partition 10GB smaller. Thanks god I had backups of all data of the second partition too – but before I restored it these 10GB appeared to have A LOT of strange and unreadable files which I couldn't get rid of.

Interesting – I'm guessing any backup utility would get confused by a partitioning change.

The only problem with using Linux is that I'd be so busy just getting the thing to do what WHS does that I wouldn't have time to blog about it!

Comment on Windows Home Server on an MSI Wind Desktop, Part 1 – Cost & Power by Norman

I also build a WHS using the MSI Wind Desktop. I only have a single hard drive in the system. The drive is a 1TB WD GP Green Power Drive. Power consumption measured using Kill-A-Watt averages 27w (25w idle, 29w during backups). I’m very happy with the system. Very quiet and low power. I replaced a Buffalo Linkstation NAS with this server. It uses a bit more power than the NAS but has much more functionality.

Nice set up with a big difference on power requirements. Just a note worth sharing that Intel has released a new 330 dual-core Atom in a Mini-ITX form factor, called the D945GCLF2. It can be purchased online and includes a 10/100/1000 Mbps network interface, along with other upgrades. MSI has not upgraded their product line with it, but would suspect it will happen in the next month or two.
