KeepVault for WHS Winners Announced

As you are aware all week we have had a KeepVault for Windows Home Server competition, giving away a 40GB account every day Monday through to Thursday. Whilst over the weekend giving away a 100GB to one lucky person.

Well the results are in, we have read your comments, answers to our question and stories and here are the list of winners.

Monday we asked you why you would like to win a 40GB account and congrats to Carl Tyler who answered:

I’d like to win one, at the moment all the important information about my poodle farming business is not being backed up, and I would hate to lose all that hard work.

Tuesday we asked you why you visit us here at mswhs.com, and well done to 40GB account winner  michael f who answered:

This site is a great way to keep current on the latest of everything WHS-related. A wealth of knowledge.

For day 3 of the KeepVault giveaway we asked you for the main 2 things that you use Windows Home Server for apart from backing up. And another 40GB account goes to Sean who wrote:

I serve up a large music collection with iTunes installed on the WHS connecting to an Airport Express downstairs hooked up to a receiver wired to speakers throughout the kitchen, dining room and living room, and driven by the Remote app on an iPod Touch. (Whew!) I also store all our families important documents which have been scanned and PDF’d.

Thursday we asked you to explain explain a scenario where KeepVault would save the day and Lood, our final 40GB account winner wrote:

Your beloved domestic Cat, treasure to the family, menace to the computer user!

Beloved moggy insists on wandering across your desk and keyboard when you are trying to work (you know they do it, it’s one of their favorite pastimes). In the process of it’s “wandering”, beloved moggy accidentally knocks your cup of tea off your desk onto your brand spanking new single drive HP LX195, the tea seaps through the gaps before you can react and frys the server and hard disk in the process. Nooooooo!!!!!!

As it only has a single drive there is no multiple disk redundancy set up and you haven’t got round to setting up that external Home Server shares backup which you’ve meaning to do, oh hec…….hang on, thank god the server was backing up to Keep Vault on a daily bais…….Keep Vault saves the day! Phew!

Only issue to solve now is the dead server and that darn Cat! :O)

And finally for Friday and Saturday we asked you how many (average) mp3 songs could you fit into a 100GB account, our own estimate was 20,000 and the nearest was Heaphus with his answer of 20920.

Congratulations to all 5 winners whose emails have been passed along to KeepVault, who will be in contact with you shortly. Also a big thanks to everyone who replied and don’t forget even if you didn’t win, with their reasonable pricing plans you could still purchase one, and be safe in the knowledge Home Server is backed up onsite and online.
