Thanks for your comment and for the great Home Server resource — http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/ is definitely the place to go for anyone who has a home server or is interested in getting one. I have a couple of cool home server resources to share with you as well.

MS Windows Home Server http://mswhs.com/ is a personal blog of Microsoft MVP Philip Churchill, who writes about all things relating to WHS. You and he actually have something in common, he was the beta tester for Windows Home Server as well!

Another great place is http://www.homeserverhacks.com/ authored by another MVP, Donavan West. Lots of helpful articles as well as excellent hardware and software “how to” sections that you might be particularly interested in.

And last but not least, Tom’s Ramblings of a Home Server User http://homeserverblogger.com/ has a cool “tips and tricks” section and lots of helpful resources for Home Server enthusiasts.

Talk to you soon!

The great thing about home server was that I was able to convert a older PC with limited RAM and processor. Cost saving and efficient use of hardware! I dont know how Home Server would protect identity theft but I am all for that also! ;)

The backup/restore feature is especially useful because most home users really are negligent about their data. Home server offers both file level restores and total imaging.

More vendors are releasing products for home server including centralized virus service and more. Addons are also being released for free from several programmers. You can find a good repository at http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/ which also has dedicated hardware reviews for home server products.

All in all you should definitely get this setup unless you are a more sophisticated IT guy who has a full server setup in their home.
