Alex Kuretz, author of the fantastic and must have Windows Home Server add-in BDBB has just released an update bringing it to version 1.0.3.3.
Here is what Alex says:
I’m pleased to announce the release of a new version of the Windows Home Server Backup Database-Backup (BDBB) Add-In. Version 1.0.3.3 includes a couple of new features that I believe you will find useful, as well as an updated user interface to accommodate the new features. Here’s a list of what’s changed in this release.
- Redesigned user interface, tabs now provide room for new features
- More documentation within the interface to explain the features of the Add-In, including a warning message that the backup service will be stopped during backup and restore
- Increased details about each possible network target, including free and total storage space, volume name and drive letter if known
- Added ability to configure individual Health Notification thresholds for each client computer
- Added feature to delete the current WHS Backup Database in case of a corrupted DB that Repair is not able to correct
- Elapsed time is now reported in the user interface after a backup or restore completes
- Don’t display connected drives with filesystem of type CDFS, such as CD/DVD and some external hard drives that have special read-only partitions such as the HP Simple Save
- Removed the user prompt to restore Client Registry keys, as this feature is no longer needed since WHS PP2. The registry files are still backed up with each BDBB backup in case the user needs to manually restore
- Significant code changes “under the hood” to facilitate new features in the future
- New logo created by http://www.nada-g.com
You can download this latest version from the Add-Ins page, be sure to uninstall your current version before installing the new version. Let me know here in the comments or here in the forums how you like the new features in WHS BDBB 1.0.3.3.

Great job Alex. Like I said at the start of this post, and I have said many times in the past, this is one of those must have add-ins if you have Windows Home Server. Tim even did a video recently that you should check out.
