We Got Served picked up on a post on Microsoft’s WHS forums stating that Power Pack 1 of Windows Home Server will not allow you to back up your backup database via a built in tool as was previously announced.
Todd Headrick of the WHS Team stated:
A feature isn’t a feature until it ships. And sometimes marketing gets things wrong … by pre-announcing stuff at CES that ends up getting cut before it ships.
The feature had to be cut due to the interplay with the connector install and the fact that consumers may hork their backup database by doing an incomplete backup or interrupting the restore process. The team will look to add this functionality in a future release after Power Pack 1.
Of course this is not a problem as you can still back up the backup database manually, using the steps in the Home Computer Backup technical brief.
