Assuming the thing is connected to the internet, if it had a virus on it, someone could access not just one computer's files, but every computer's files.

How would a virus get executed on the machine?

Do you use your machine to access the Internet? If so, your machine is a MUCH greater risk.


Also, the server doesn't have execution rights like that on clients.

so in addition to that, is there a way to make it update only certain files on individual computers? Like if my mom downloads music I would like to update that every night, but if my sister does reports as well I'd like to be able to back up those files.

And another question... when it backs up things it will update them, like replace only the things that are different. Well can I back up documents in all of their individual forms? Like, if I write a report one night and then edit it another night and then another night later I decide I like the original copy more, can I access all versions of that individual document? Iunno how specific or advanced the backup utility is in the WHS program.

Does that make sense? Essentially can it act like the shadow copy from Vista Ultimate/time machine...

Ahh, so you can't use the server as a normal OS? It's basically just a dedicated server with no monitor or keyboard or anything, then?

shadow copy is a feature

Quote:
Features

* Centralized Backup - Allows backup up to 10 PCs,[6] using Single Instance Store technology to avoid multiple copies of the same file, even if that file exists on multiple PCs.[7]
* Health Monitoring - Can centrally track the health of all PCs on the network, including antivirus and firewall status.[7]
* File Sharing - Offers network shares for computers to store the files remotely, acting as a network-attached storage device. Separate categories are provided for common file types like Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos.[7] The files are indexed for fast searching.[8]
* Printer Sharing - Allows a centralized print server to handle print jobs for all users.[7]
* Shadow Copy - Takes advantage of Volume Shadow Copy Services to take point in time snapshots that allow older versions of files to be recovered.[9]
* Headless Operation - No monitor or keyboard is required to manage the device.[7] Remote administration is performed by using the Windows Home Server Console client software provided in the bundle. Also supports Remote Desktop[10] connections to the server while connected to the same LAN.[11]
* Remote Access Gateway - Allows remote access to any connected PC on the network over the Internet.[11]
* Media Streaming - Can stream media to a Xbox 360 or other devices supporting Windows Media Connect.[7]
* Data redundancy - Guards against a single drive failure by duplicating data across multiple drives.[7]
* Expandable Storage - Provides a unified single and easily expandable storage space, removing the need for drive letters.[7]
* Extensibility through Add-Ins - Add-Ins allow third-party developers to extend the features and functionality of the server. Add-Ins can be developed using the Windows Home Server SDK, to provide additional services to the client computers or work with the data already on the server. Add-Ins can also be ASP.NET applications, hosted in IIS 6 running on WHS.[8]
* Server Backup - Backs up files which are stored within shared folders on the server to an external hard drive.
