Windows 7 to allow PC backups to network share | |

Long Zheng: One of the most compelling features of the Windows Home Server is the automated image backup to the network share. However if you find a home server a little too much (or expensive) like I do, then you’d be glad to know Windows 7 will make the job of making “Windows Complete PC Backups” at least half as easy by allowing you to backup straight to a network share. Whereas in Vista you could only do a complete backup to hard disk or DVDs (with files you could backup to network share), taking it one step further to the network share makes it much easier to do backups especially since you can’t backup to the same drive as the operating system. And I don’t think anyone will juggle 71 DVDs to backup their 500GB hard drive. I guess now’s a good a time as any to buy a NAS device. | ||

| My wife and I both backup to our (Not Windows Home Server) home server which is mapped as a drive on our Vista computers. Apparently, the writer chooses to ignore mapped drives which are nothing new. |

Yes, but can you do a bare-metal restore from that backup. I think that's the real point.
The ability to boot from WHS's recovery disc and have my machine back 100% the way it was at the last backup is a life saver I've had to use more than once. TL |
