Windows Home Server

So I take it back. I previously mentioned how Windows Home Server was Lame. I am now running the RC1 on my old media center at home. First and foremost the backup solution is execellent. It uses a solution known as single instance storage that allows data to be broken up in clusters and hashed and then if the resulting hash key is already stored on the Windows Home Server it will simply make that data part of the new backup you are making. I guess this patented technology has been around for a while in programs such as groupwise and exchange. The windows home server implementation just seems to work so well.
