  ON SECURITY

  

  By Susan Bradley

  On an annual basis, I like to review those subscriptions and services that impact my bank account.

  Many times, vendors use the end of a year to change their focus or — as is apt to happen more recently — increase their prices. You should do the same. Review each and every subscription to make sure it’s delivering the value you expect.

  One recent announcement? YouTube TV just raised its price by $10 per month, a 14% increase.

• Big boost for backup software – Windows Home Server Power Pack 2 coming

  Posted on March 21, 2009 at 14:22 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Philip Churchill, over on the Windows Home Server blog, caught an interesting glimpse at a “whoops” posting by Microsoft, concerning the latest and greatest addition to the backup software in Windows Home Server.

  Philip found a listing for PowerPack 2 in the original Microsoft posting for the “other patch Tuesday” – the fourth Tuesday of the month, when we commonly see non-security-related patches. Microsoft pulled the mention, but it seems pretty clear that WHS PP2 should be available next Tuesday, March 24.

  I’m under NDA, but for those of you who use WHS, Power Pack 2 promises all sorts of neat new goodies, particularly with improved backup. Software afficionados take note. Stay tuned.

  For those of you who aren’t yet using Windows Home Server, there’s a good overview on the Windows Home Server Team blog. Wikipedia has a fair comparison of backup software programs and their capabilities. PC Mag has posted a roundup of backup software packages and their prices.
