    Rolling backup strategy

    I am looking for backup tool that lets me keep a rolling backup of the last 30 days (or so) of my WHS folders. I have an internal drive that is not part of the pool and I backup the folder shares every night. I have tried Acronis 2012 incremental & differential, Syncback, and the built in...

    Folder Backups

    I am looking for a good folder backup utility that works like WHS. Specifically, WHS does incremental backups every night, and keeps N of them. All I have to do to recover a file from 3 months ago is to go into the WHS Console, highlight the date in the backup list, and then click "Open..."...

    Weird PS3 & WHS problem

    About every 3rd or 4th time I put a Handbrake encoded video up on the WHS server in the Video folder, it does not show up in the PS3 directory list. I navigate to the directory (using the lame DOS like folder view), and the .mp4 file is not listed. My W7 PC sees the directory and all the...

    PS3 from WHS

    Setup is WHS in office, PS3 in video room connected via CAT6. Lots of Handbrake encoded videos on WHS. The PS3 sees them all and they play great. But... the PS3 interface SUCKS when browsing the videos up on the server. All I have is a folder view and then it gives me a text list of the files...

    WHS, inadvertent file deletion protection?

    After inadvertently deleting a folder from my WHS Video share, I am having second thoughts about my backup strategy with WHS. I really like the Folder Duplication feature for a simple fault tolerance design, but I was not thinking about accidental deletions. And with the family all using those...

    MP3 Player with 30 second skip button?

    Got Dell DJ's, Apple iPods, Shuffles and even an old Rio MP300. However, none of them do what my DVR can do, i.e. skip ahead 30 seconds with the press of a button. I can fast forward, but that is both imprecise and slow. The reason for my need is that I have recently started recording long...

    CM Stacker Problem?

    Got a Stacker at Newegg (luv Newegg). It is not the newer 830 model, but the previous model STC-T01. My question is the physical spacing for the add in cards. I mounted an ASUS MB using the supplied standoffs, and all the output ports on the back of the MB line right up to the cutouts...

    Won't boot into safe mode, but will normally?

    Looking for ideas. Friends Dell Dimension with Dell 2001FP. During rotation, monitor checked out. In the interim, tried to use an old Sony CRT. Booting into XP, get an "out of range" error. Boot into Safe Mode Comes up, 640x480 Change display to 1024x768 Works Boot into regular XP...

    Steam offline mode unavailable?

    First off, check the flamethrowers at the door. They are no value added. That being said (and probably ignored :rolleyes: ), what the hell is going on with my Steam connection. Since my gaming rig has got Cat5 cable issues, I figured I'll just play a little HL2 single player. Haven't played...

    Nero stopped verifying

    Always burn with Nero and do a verify. I know, I know, the Nero verify is not 100%, but IMO better than nothing. However, for the past week, all of the sudden, Nero the data verification fails. It reports the source files as being in use so they can't be compared against. Nothing else running...

    Why not unlock HL2?

    Just a discussion question. From the Valve Steam News section: My question is why? Assuming it really is Vivendi keeping it locked there seems to be no logical reason for such a position. By keeping it locked they have irritated retail customers, irritated retail dealers, and are...

    Closed loop reporting

    I think it is great that people post their problems and get help. After all, lots of smart people on the boards. However, why can't those people requesting help also post their SOLUTION!!! Let us know how they fixed it, didn't fix it, or whatever. Just give us some closure. My computer...

    Bad memory corrupts drive?

    Posted earlier about my ASUS P4C800Deluxe MB crapping out. Turns out the memory controller went bad. Also, both sticks of Corsair XMS memory died. Wonder if the controller took the memory with it. Hmmmmm...... But that's not the problem. The problem is now one of the hard drives is behaving...

    Memtest86 no longer valid for ASUS?

    I posted a while ago about my dead MB. During the course of troubleshooting, I talked with ASUS technical support. According to them, Memtest86 is no longer a recommended troubleshooting tool to check for memory failures with ASUS MBs. According to ASUS, Memtest86 has a high false error...

    memory or motherboard?

    Put the computer together last May. Been running well until Friday night. Haven't changed any hardware in 2 months. Never even overclocked. I know, I know, just never needed to. Maybe for HL2 or Doom3. Anyway, starting Friday night, all my downloads from Usenet were corrupted. Using Agent 2.0...
