Windows Home Server was released at the end of last year with the aim of finding its way into peoples homes. We at Systemagic are also keen to test new software so once we had it up and running on one of our Fujitsu Siemens Primergy servers, we discovered (with a little help from Google) that infact the software can backup server operating systems as well as your usual XP and Vista home PC. So, for a small business with a combined network of 10 PCs and Servers or less, this is an ideal solution to your backup worries. Essentially Windows Home Server (or Windows Backup Server as we think it should have been named) performs a complete backup of each of your networked PC or servers each night and then holds an archive copy for up to 3 months. You're limited really only by the amount of disk space you have in your machine and with SATA drives being so cheap these days you can buy enough storage to do 10 PCs without breaking the bank.
We've already installed this solution into a number of clients and we ourselves have already benefited from having it running on our own network by completely recovering one of our laptops which died in under 30 minutes.
To allow our customers to take advantage of Windows Home Server in the best way we've packaged it up with a new Fujitsu Siemens Primergy Server and are selling it as a pre-installed bundle for under £300. You can read more here.
