I'm working on rebuilding my decimated farm. Part of that is an experiment to run SBS 2011 Essentials on my SR2. So far, so good. This might be a good alternative for those of us who are disappointed that WHS '11 only supports one CPU socket.

I'm setting up my shares and the client backups are all the same as WHS 11. It sets up a domain rather than a homegroup, so I'm going to have to re-learn how to work within a domain (haven't used one since NT4.0 probably).

I'm actually going to use it in a non-intended way (as usual), since I am going to use it as a workstation (and possibly even for gaming?) so I had to force feed it some video and audio drivers. So far everything is working as needed.

I have virtualbox fired up and running the Linuxforge image. I'm only getting 88k PPD on a 6900 right now, but I'm guessing that's because I'm using it heavily.
 
Make sure you get rid of the WSUS/automatic updates portion in the group policy. No point having that in a home environment.
 
Thanks for that.

Unfortunately, I'm still only seeing TPF around 14:00 on the 6900 for a PPD of 94,000. That still seems low to me.

I'm also on the hunt for some sort of external enclosure I can use to stick a couple hard drives in for server backups. I'm annoyed that SBS only supports server backups to external disks.....wtf.
 
In 2008R2/SBS2011 that "feature" is fixed FWIW. Makes me angry as well.

Click to expand...

That is what Backup Exec is for much better than the built in backup. If I remember right though there is a way to install the windows xp/2003 backup which can work some tape drives.
