Microsoft on Friday announced it won't be including client PC backup functionality when it releases Small Business Server 2008 to manufacturing in the second half of the year, but will consider adding the feature to future versions.
Chris Almida, a program manager with the Windows Small Business Server team, made the announcement at SBS Migration's IT Pro 2008 Conference in New Orleans, where many of Microsoft's Small Business Specialist partners are gathered this weekend.
Microsoft decided not to include PC client backup in order to ensure that SBS 2008 ships on time, but the vendor is looking at how and when to add the feature, said Joel Sider, senior product manager for the Windows Server Solutions Group, in an email to ChannelWeb.
