Reviewed on 2008-04-09 Unbelievable from the Worlds Largest Software Company I installed this are on brand new Dell PowerEdge T105 with 2 drives. Followed all the instructions. Loaded all the required Dell drivers. The Home Server came up and seemed to work great. Then after a couple of backups I started getting corrupted files on the Home Server. When viewing the backups it would hang the client computer with all the corrupted file pop-ups. These are corrupted files on the Home Server. Contacted MS support (a vender does the support). Sent in the logs. They told me to delete all the back ups and try again. After doing that I still get corrupted files on the backups randomly. How can I rely on this? Turns out corrupted files is a know issue (KB#946676) with NO FIX on the horizon because they said it happens so RARELY! And the programs that are referenced in KB#946676 as causing corrupted files? I was not using any of them. Just the automatic backup. Avoid Windows Home Server at all costs. I wish there was something out there for Windows as cool as Apple's Time Machine.

Reviewed on 2008-02-15 A long time coming...... I can't believe I had ever survived without Home Server. I am a MCSE and could do all this with other Microsoft products, but is a one stop shop!! The backup feature is second-to-none!! Although I haven't restored yet. If your looking for a central place for all of your media and files, look no further.

Reviewed on 2008-02-09 Every home should have this! It's great! Backup home computers and share everything. Easy to setup and manager. It just works...

Reviewed on 2008-01-28 WHS Review Product works as described...ONLY if you know what your doing. This software is not for the newbies and computer illiterate. If you are one of the select few buy a prebuilt system. Otherwise it works great and has more option than you realize.

Reviewed on 2007-12-19 Great Purchase. Great addition for techie family If you have a dedicated computer in your home to store shared files, this is the best addition. The backups are great, sharing media is awesome. Adding media is a sinch. Microsoft has made this very simple to use for even the novice. Put it on a newer PC and you can really take advantage of the streaming media (audio, video) features. Ton's of free addons from a very active developer community make this the must have item for any techie that has more than one PC at home.
