Windows Home Server to the Rescue…Again
The Righthand Blog says that Windows Home Server is just like a bicycle helmet, in that its hoped it will never be used for real (to restore a computer). This story is about restoring a frozen vista machine from home server’s nightly backup and as the writer states:
…big kudos to Windows Home Server – it spared me a lot of work and time.
Catch the story here.
Share this WHS Article with Others:
Don’t wait for the need to do a restore. Test with an out of production computer or server in anticiaption of need to restore. Really easy.
Another words, just don’t trust WHS. Nice to know…
WHS isn’t rescuing anyone, it only adds to the complexity, cost and data corruption that KB 946676 hasn’t been resolved since last year still.
All this money spent on DRM technologies, activation, validation and Windows Genuine Advantage for what? Wasted money when it could have been better used to create a non crashing operating system, that wouldn’t need daily backup wasting all your expensive memory storage space!!!
Microsoft has just discovered the highest cost for the consumer to afford, by charging for the operating system, charging for the backup system, and for all the additional cost other than just fixing bloody Windows instead.
Heck even the BIOS can remember it’s own instructions even when the power is turned off… unlike WinBlows!
DaHoServer Says:
“I just downloaded the PP1 .doc file to one of my shared WHS folders and the file name is too long causing the WHS to freak out…”
Still laughing? Was that suppose to be funny?
…and “I must say I am underwhelmed that they would send out a WHS update file that is incompatible with WHS.”
