We have teamed up with our friends at Tranquil PC to give away some two year subscriptions to their HomeServerSync add-in for Windows Home Server. This is the first of a number of giveaways.

Yesterday, August 24, 2010, Awieco released a beta of their updated WakeOnLAN Add-In for Windows Home Server code name Vail Beta Refresh. This Add-In is an updated Beta for the new Vail Refresh and has some new features and a slightly different interface. I know that Andrew and I are very excited to be able to test this new beta Add-In since he and I used the first WOL version daily for site maintenance and upgrades!
Mirror, mirror on the drive. I need my data to stay alive. Windows Home Server 2011 has a built in Drive Mirror feature that will allow you to create a synchronized copy of the drive.
