News WHS refresh ditches auto-backup

Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 was supposed to introduce an automated method of backup up the backup database, but this feature has quietly been removed ahead of launch.

 

Im not amused to be honest. I wish i hadnt of bought the OS now. I now have 3TB of backups and storage which can be lost at any minute. Add this to the slow transfer speeds, corruption possibilities and everything else and you have a typical half assed microsoft product where we are all the testing mice.

Not amused. Any wonder ppl pirate software tbh. I wont buy a microsoft product again.

 

the way M$ not fixing the problem in WHS is poor, id recommend that you stop useing it and get windows XP - 2003/2008 server so that you do not lose data, use soft raid 5 or just use them on there own and use mount folders (disk managment make 2-3 folders and name them and nount them)

 

The headline is a bit mis-leading from my viewpoint considered they didn't ditch auto backups they ditched auto backups of the backup database. Now the corruption is a bit worrisome I never ran into it with the public beta test, but it's worrisome nonetheless if I ever decide to implement the retail version on my network again.

 

The next time someone complains about the linux command line, I'm going to shove that up their...nose
