• Five months later, Windows Home Server gets patched

    I think.

    Microsoft has just announced that a Release Candidate for Windows Home Server “Power Pack 1” is now available for downloading.

    Power Pack 1 includes two new features (more about that in a moment), but by far the most important part of the Power Pack is a patch to the data-eating bug Microsoft first announced last December.

    Yes, it took that long to fix the bug. (No, for most people, the bug wasn’t a show-stopper.)

    The two new features: you can now run the Windows Home Server backup program (called the “Connector”) on PCs using 64-bit versions of Windows; and with Power Pack 1 you can back up the contents of shared folders, on an external drive. We were all hoping that PP1 would allow you to back up your WHS backup files, but that feature got the heave-ho.

    Given the WHS dev team’s track record (which is quite good), you might want to consider installing this beta.
