13.2.2007Windows Home Server Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore
Windows® Home Server will automatically backup your home computers to the home server and allow you to easily restore the entire computer or an
individual file or folder to a previous point in time. The Windows Home Server Backup solution backs up only the data that has not already been backed
up. Even if you have several copies of the same data on different computers, the data is backed up only once on your home server and your home server
keeps track of what data was stored on each home computer on each day. This makes it efficient in the time it takes for backups to complete and the
amount of space that is used on your home server.

Microsoft's partners are

secure platform of Windows
Server 2003, says Joel Sider,
senior product manager in the
Windows Home Server group at

19.04.2007Windows Home Server Update on the way...
Windows Home Server Team: Hi all. Next week on Tuesday, Nov 27 we will release a new update for Windows Home Server software. This is a scheduled
update - part of the ongoing process of continually enhancing the customer experience with Windows Home Server. The new functionality will be
downloaded via Windows Update and made available to existing Windows Home Server customers.
Details are available
here, but the main benefit of the
update is that it will improve the remote access experience for Windows Home Server users by providing them with a trusted SSL certificate for their
home servers. That means customers will be able to access their home server from outside the home more seamlessly, without any security warnings. The
Windows Home Server team worked closely with Windows Live Domains and GoDaddy, a leading provider of Web domain addresses, to provide the certificate
for the homeserver.com web pages customers use for remote access.
In addition, this months update provides a new Delete All
button to let users delete all home computer backups that are stored on the home server, as well as a few improvements to the Shared Folders and
Server Storage components of Windows Home Server.
