Although you should use the following guide ‘very carefully’ it may save your bacon, should you install a ‘bad’ Add In which wrecks your WHS.

Note:- Take a complete backup of your registry before making any changes

In this procedure you need to download files – from here.

Extract the files into a folder, in this you will see two files – AddSystemRestoreEntries.reg and sr.inf along with other required files.

Double click on AddSystemRestoreEntries.reg and click on Yes when prompted.

Then right click on sr.inf and select install, be sure you can browse to those ‘other’ files.

Reboot your WHS that’s it now you are ready for your WHS feature – System restore.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Ok, so what did I think?

Well, I have been talking to Tranquil a lot about HSS over the last few months and I have been involved in testing various components with them, but this was the first time I had my hands on the latest build of the WHS add-in.

It was easy to install and to set-up. And in no time at all my files were being uploaded. “

Tranquil are pleased to confirm that the HomeServerSync Suite of products is now almost out of beta.
The VPN / Sync modules are still in beta, and are working well – with just a few issues being resolved.

We have had approx 26.5TB transferred through the VPN tunnels, with over 1800 PCs connected.

VPN Beta users have enjoyed unlimited fast remote access to the WHS console / WHS RDC / WHS Shares / WHS backups etc along with RDC / folder access to all PCs  on their private VPNs – many want it forever, and are relying on the VPN for daily use ! 

The Sync tool is very flexible is use, and although designed for PC <> WHS synchronisation has been used for WHS <> WHS synchronisation too (ie mirroring WHS data folders) – not officially supported, but possible.

Today the HomeServerSync Offsite backup WHS Add In goes to final beta.  This module provides off site backup for the WHS device -  and the central management console for VPNs and PC / WHS Syncs.  The beta (not including the VPN / Sync components) is available now for BETA users. 

Any interested beta testers should simply drop a line to  hssbeta5@homeserversync.co.uk  they will get a download link and simple instructions, shortly after sending the email.  With an offer to enjoy a discount on the final released product, as a token of our appreciation.

The full product is marked for release in July 2010.  The ‘pre-order’ discount will stop just before release, and we’d like to thank everyone who has shown confidence in pre-ordering – they’ll be the first to enjoy releasing their Home Servers ‘from the LAN’.  There is a saving to be had still – visit http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/HomeServerSync.html

We welcome BETA testers and all we ask is that they provide any feedback to beta@homeserversync.co.uk if they have any comments to make.

Normally the suite (VPN/SYNC/Offsite back of 100GB) is going to be £118.30 per year, pre-orders get this discounted down to £79 (all + VAT), which represents excellent value.
