I was saved by WHS when the SP3 installation failed on my laptop, and its “undo feature” when “laa-laa” on me. People who have not experienced the data loss, have no idea what they are in for without having a decent backup strategy. WHS is a BIG step in the right direction. Hopefully the guys from WHS team are busy working on some new features that will make WHS a complete solution .

I’ve been considering the various options for my home server since my Win XP Shuttle died a death during building works last year. I’ve been monitoring this site for WHS related news/info and pretty much based on that info I’ve decided WHS is for me. I’ve just bought myself a fully loaded 5TB Tranquil Squash for Christmas. So yes, this will probably be the best present for me this year!

Great job on the site by the way. I find it a great resource. Keep up the excellent work!

This is probably old news to other WHS-heads, but WHS also makes it easy to increase the size of your hard disk, soimething that’s a big pain for most users. I bought a bigger hard drive for my notebook. I did a manual backup, put the new drive in, formatted it and then booted off the WHS restore disk.

Voila. Very easy.
