How much longer do we have to work with corrupted files ? I wonder tbh, what the contrabution is in this way of asking the community what we want.

It’s now May 18th 2008, and we only have the rumor that PP1 will be released hopefully sometime around June 2008 via Microsoft. Is this the best we can expect to know for either PP1 or the proven data corruption design defect known as KB 946676?

Since WHS is based on windows 2003 and the connector software supports 2003 (tested and working), you can just buy a second WHS and backup WHS-1 to WHS-2 *sarcasm* Technically, you can backup WHS!

The data flaw has existed since the inception of WHS. As far as I'm concerned, using WHS now is a crap shoot. Why bother when you never know if using it will lose your data? Fix the bug and make WHS work with Vista (remote access) as is should have before it's release!

Being how almost every Microsoft software program, even the embedded Microsoft Windows Media Player leads to data corruption. So now we get a list of "WHAT NOT TO DO" when using WHS! WHS is actually becoming more of the "Don't Do List" as time goes on, than when WHS beta testers were tinkering around! This only goes to show how FRAGILE WHS really is. Who wants to work with WHS glass? All show and no go! How about what if any other programs are NOT affected by this WHS data corruption flaw?

Maybe I need to downgrade Vista like everyone else is doing just to get things working? WHS should have supported Vista Ultimate 64bit, and the fact that WHS PP1 isn't going to be around until June 2008, sure doesn't help me out for having bought HP EX475 in November 2007! Then there is this data corruption flaw that prevents me to be able to use WHS for what I had bought it for! I didn't want an $800 broken backup device that doesn't even backup itself.

And we all know why we want to backup, in case Windows PC or WHS crashes, fails, gets infected and obviously for WHS data corruption as well. Just seems like the root problems in Microsoft software isn't fixed here, it's just another band aid applied over another to me.

The Server Backup to an external source capability alone is worth the upgrade. Not to mention there are some bug fixes.
