We are up to three Windows Home Servers on site. They happily sit unassumingly in the corner of the server room each backing up a combination of 10 computers/servers.

Benefits of WHS.

  • Daily incremental image based backups of each machine.
  • Saves disk space by consolidating duplicate bits across images.
  • Easy access to files within an image through a fool proof UI.
  • Simple image based recovery, again, through a fool proof UI.
  • Did I mention a fool proof UI? I mean the thing is dead simple to use for backup AND recovery.

Our only problem at this point is keeping a list tracking which WHS a given network computer was originally connected to. I'd love something as simple but that can handle 30+ machines at once. Is there anything out there?

I use this: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

And I think it is the coolest backup technology ever. It is linux, so you may have to deal with some issues, but I think it works well. It is file based however, I don't know about Windows Home Server, but backuppc doesn't do images.
