I have been using a SATA drive to do my backup of the Shares now. With most of my drives attached to the eSATA enclosure, I have 2 drive bays available on the home server itself. That is where I put my backup drives and run backups once every 1 to 2 weeks. I am still not satisfied with how the Home Server handles files and occasionally I still have "file conflicts" and I have to delete the file from the Share and recover the file from my backup. I think their software replication mechanism is flawed. Hi Spencer, I agree with you. I have been using a SATA drive to do my backup of the Shares now.

As for your backups, you got lucky! Not sure about your space, but why not use eternal drives to backup your home server? I have folder duplication on and back up the server to two external drives, one of which I keep off-site. Even with this method I'm paranoid about loosing the data. Like you, I have photos that I cannot afford to loose! Spencer. .-= Spencer´s last blog ..<a href="http://brawns.ca/blog/2010/04/23/laura-and-levi" rel="nofollow">Laura and Levi</a> =-. Hey,

Since I started using the home server, I have not been doing that at all. So it is my fault for not keeping a good copy somewhere else....

It be a real shame otherwise. I admittedly only recently started backing up at the beginning of this year when my HDD turn 4 years. Photos, portfolio, and some music are burned onto CD/DVD. Also copied on external HD, copied additionally to a portable HD, and vital files on 2x 16GB flash drives. I feel OK. Good to hear that recovery went relatively well. It be a real shame otherwise.
