Users (specifically those who configure a family's home server) dealt with storage at two levels: Shared Folders and Disks. The only concepts relevant regarding disks was whether they had been "added" to the home server's storage pool or not and whether the disk appeared healthy to the system or not. This was in contrast with Windows' Logical Disk Manager which requires a greater degree of technical understanding in order to correctly configure a RAID array.
Windows Home Server Computer Backup automatically backs up all of the computers in a home to the server using an image-based system that ensures point-in-time-based restoration of either entire PCs or specific files and folders.[24] Complete bare-metal restores are initiated through a restore bootable CD, file based restores are initiated through the WHS client software which allows the users to open a backup and "drag and drop" files from it. This technology uses Volume Shadow Services (VSS) technology on the client computer to take an image based backup of a running computer. Because the backup operates on data at the cluster level, single instancing can be performed to minimize the amount of data that travels over the network and that will ultimately be stored on the home server. This single instancing gives the server the ability to store only one instance of data, no matter if the data originated from another computer, another file, or even data within the same file.

The system also supports Terminal Services Gateway, allowing remote control of the desktop of any Windows computer on the home network.[19][25] Currently supported systems are those which would normally support Remote Desktop: Windows XP Professional, Tablet and Media Center editions, Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions and Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions. The web interface also supports embedding the Remote Desktop ActiveX control, to provide remote access to home computers from within the web interface directly. Remote sessions can also connect to the Home Server console to configure the server over the internet.[19]
Integration of the file sharing service as a location for Mac OS X's Time Machine was apparently being considered,[30] but upon Mac OS X Leopard's release, Apple had removed the ability to use the SMB file sharing protocol for Time Machine backups.[31] One WHS provider, HP, provides their own plug-in with their home server line capable of Time Machine backup to a home server.[32]
its currently being used for recording some home security cameras & as a NAS running samba & nextcloud. The cameras I can move over to an NVR or record to microsd instead if needed, so I really only need specs capable of running windows storage spaces. but if i could record the cameras on it that would be nice too
I was very impressed at the power saving for a better machine! And as I run Hyper-V on it I was able to run the old server image, my build machine, a Home Server virtual machine and others all on the one box so it was well worth the upgrade.
Any specific reasons for windows home server?. Linux is a good choice for home server if you have little experience with pc's as you may have to do some customization. You can build a custom pc with 45w processors.
The computer's power supply. All electricity consumed inside the computer goes through it, and the performance of the power suppy is very important. A little bit more money to get a more efficient power supply is justified for servers nowadays.
I want to build a home server and I plan to run windows server 2012 essentials. I want to use it for storage, file sharing, dlna to my tv, host a couple of websites (not much traffic if any at all) and maybe run a minecraft server on it (but not essential obviously).
I'm concerned that having a computer running 24/7 is going to blow out my electricity bill so is there a way to minimize power usage? What sort of wattage should I expect a server to use? What hardware component uses the most power?
There's a fairly big niche market these days in low-power servers, so you should look into that (use the Google). A lot of them are meant to run Linux, but some are compatible with Windows, or can have Windows installed as an option. If you get a plug server or a similar small machine designed to minimize power use, you can run it for literally pennies a day.
I've got a couple around the house somewhere and they cost less to run than my desktop... which really isn't all that much, when you do the math. Say, 850W (which would be the maximum draw of my desktop PSU) *$0.13*24 == $20.40 a day, if my computer was running at full power draw 24/7. It actually draws around 5% on average, so it costs me about $350 a year to keep my desktop on full time. A home server, with a similar expected utilization would cost about the same, unless you have wildly different prices for electricity. One of my actual enterprise-grade servers (A Dell NX3100) only runs me about $500 a year in electricity, or less than $10 a week, so you really shouldn't expect a server by itself to blow out your electric bill.
We are setting up a home file server (most likely running Windows Home Server) that will always be on. There will be a mix of older hardware and some new components. The box does not need to be blazing fast.
I've been running the original version of WHS for many rears now, I never upgraded to the 2011 version because it didn't support drive pooling. However the HP Datavault I've got died with the last power outage and the reloading process doesn't work anymore (it is a headless server) with Windows 7, therefore I think it is time to give it up. It is a shame because it is a great little piece of hardware, but it has very little processing power so you cannot really run anything else on it.
I'm not afraid to build my own system as I used to be a hardware tech, but that was 15 years ago so I don't know all of the current hardware and what is compatible with what as far as MB, CPU & RAM. Therefore I'm leaning toward one of the HP ProLiant MicroServer's, but I don't know enough about them to understand the different models. This unit will mostly be used to hold my movies and TV shows for distribution on my home network. I've been running XBMC because the HP DataVault didn't have enough horsepower to be a Plex server.
Lots of people here run that server. Not much processing power either but you only need that if you are intending to do media transcoding really. There is a big thread in the build sub forums dedicated to the Microserver.
I recently purchased an HPE microserv Gen10 plus ( -proliant-microserver-gen10-plus-review-this-is-super/).
Small footprint, silent, possibility of upgrades ( -proliant-microserver-gen10-plus-ultimate-customization-guide/), low power consumption.
As mentioned while I was looking into the NCIX deal, this package comes with two 1TB drives. One already installed into the server, another one I have to install myself (still wrapped inside the anti-static bag). The iPhone is for scale comparison and did not come with the NCIX deal. The front of the home server has a door for accessing the drive bays. The bars under the numbers on the left side are drive lights, only the drive bay with a connected hard drive will light up.
I recently switched my HP EX470 Mediasmart home server from the end-of-lifed Windows Home Server to OpenMediaVault. At least upon first impression, everything seems to be working other than the internal network adapter, so I've used a USB network adapter in lieu of that. I've pasted in my notes on the process below in case it helps anyone else making the transition.
I plugged a USB keyboard into the front USB port. Powering on the home server, I repeatedly tapped F12 for 10 seconds. Apparently, this will bring up the boot menu. There is no harm in over pressing F12, so you can keep pressing to be sure. After that, I carefully hit the down arrow on the keyboard exactly 7 times, which apparently selects the USB boot option, and then hit enter. Doing this a single time seems to apply it every time in the future, as my home server always boots from the USB drive now. The process was developed by people who hacked VGA output into their servers.
Back on the HP Mediasmart home server:
Using a USB keyboard, after power on as soon as the health LED begins to blink blue and red hit DELETE and it'll become solid (either blue or red depending on what it was when you hit delete) and enter the BIOS. Advice on the Internet suggests to wait 5 seconds after this to ensure it's in the BIOS. Press F10 and then ENTER to save and reboot. Repeat this process until you're fully comfortable with the process of blindly booting into the BIOS and safely saving and exiting.
Hi
This site has given me a lot of insight into the conversion of the HP Home Media Server; I have a EX470 which I pick up on eBay earlier this year. Mainly because my World Book I had in service from 2009 till early this year when the power unit gave up, so time for something new. In comes a HP Media server which silly me thought I may be able to get it to work with W10. But no, so rethink, then I thought about Openmediavault. I read about the constant update the unit does and that the OS is on a flash Rom. I acquired a header cable from Germany very expensive, connected the SVG screen, keyboard and mouse. Then booted the gem up, I was surprised to find the IDE set up in the Cmos consisted of not only the four drives in the bays but, as follows:
Windows Home Server (codenamed Quattro) is a home server solution developed by Microsoft, based on Windows Small Business Server 2003, itself a spin-off of Windows Server 2003. It was formally announced by Bill Gates, then-CEO of Microsoft, on 8 January 2007 during the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.[1][2] It was first released to manufacturing on 16 July 2007 and was made generally available on 4 November 2007.[3] Along with the launch of Windows Home Server, a children's book titled Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? was released to promote the then-new operating system.[4] fd2cebbec0
