Last Thursday Microsoft announced the public release of the Windows Home Server 2011 RC build and they announced it with a blog post. I just noticed that the post seems to have changed a bit since the announcement to now include information from Acer.
If you are concerned about your Windows Home Server 2011 backup strategy and how it will affect your server performance then you are not alone. We decided to make a video of the scheduled backup in progess and show the CPU and network loads during the backups. Check out the video and see how you can monitor the same stats on your Windows Home Server 2011.
Windows Home Server 2011 allows you to safely restore files from your scheduled backup files. The restore process is different from WHS v1 and has a new interface. In addition, the automated backup can include your system disk so you can restore your OS. Check out this four minute video on the Restore for Windows Home Server 2011.
You just installed Windows Home Server 2011 and are ready to start copying data? Did you know you can easily map to your Windows Home Server 2011 without the connector? Why move data over USB when you can copy files directly from one machine to Windows Home Server 2011 over your network?
Want to install WHS 2011 but not sure what to expect? Although the actual complete installation takes 45 minutes, I have sped up the video through the loads and restarts so you can see just the user input screens in four minutes. Check it out!
Yesterday Microsoft pushed out the Windows Home Server 2011 RC for testers, they also pushed out the RC for Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials 2011 (formally Aurora).
Ian over at the Digital Lifestyle.com has just released the Digital Lifestyle Show number 281 amusingly entitled Media Indigestion (it will make sense when you listen to it!). And once again I’m on the show.
