Home Server Show #116

Dave tries to pull a bait and switch show! He had been talking about an interview with Microsoft and thought this week we would get it done. It was not to be, but there is some extra added to the end of the show, so make sure you listen all the way thru!
We talk Feedsource for Vail, Cloudberry for Aurora, IcyDock, CES planning, BYOB, a new look for the HomeServerShow.com and more.
By the way, you can join in live chat each week on Wednesdays, 8pm Central at http://homeservershow.com/live. And don’t forget to join us for the BYOB live show on December 18th at 11am PST.

Still Not Convinced You Need a Windows Home Server? Paul Says You Do!
Jan 16th
Even though Microsoft went well out of their way to NOT give us any details on the next version 
of Windows Home Server (WHS) at CES, Paul Thurrott, author of the SuperSite for Windows and weekly host on Windows Weekly with Leo LaPorte, hinted at the fact that WHS v2 will be out sometime this year. It comes at minute 41 in the podcast if you are interested in listening to it. I have provided the links below.
If you haven’t “gotten into” listening to podcasts (especially mine) yet, now would be a great time to start. Podcasts are very similar to a radio show (or a TV news program) that can be listened to on your computer or download to the shinny new iPod or Zune that you got for Christmas. Both iTunes and the Zune Player give you the ability to subscribe to a particular podcast and automatically download it when the show is ready. Try it out once and see if you like it. I will include some links to the shows I listen to.

Home Server Show #57
Sep 25th
The Home Server Show 57 – Sniffles and Streaming
In Show #57, Dave, John, and I go over the latest Add-Ins and news for WHS users. Dave also has an interview with Neil Sharma of Twonky Media. Dave actually edited this episode so you won’t have to hear all of our goof-ups! Well, most of the episode. Also, take a look at forums.homeservershow.com. He put up a small set of forums in order to do some testing. This may be a better way to communicate information on posts, podcasts, homebuilds, etc. He don’t intend for these forums to be a tech support mechanism like WGS or MSS.net. Those guys have great forums. He’s been looking for a spot to put all his homebuild submissions and he thinks this would be a nice place to showcase them.

WHS and CrashPlan for Social Cloud Backup – Part 2
Sep 10th
Last time, we discussed using CrashPlan on our home servers to create off site backup in what we’re calling social cloud backup. You can hear a discussion about how this works on podcast #54. Right now, CrashPlan doesn’t officially support WHS. In Part 2, we’ll discuss how we got it working on our machines. It’s not too hard, let’s call it mild difficulty. Reminder: It’s FREE!
First, you need to log onto the desktop of your home server. This can be done through add-ins like AutoExit, … … or Live Mesh. Once on the desktop, open a web browser and go towww.crashplan.com. Click download and install the program. The install process includes the creation of a user account. This is how you will connect to other users.

WHS and CrashPlan for Social Cloud Backup – Part 1
Aug 26th
Several weeks ago on the Home Server Show podcast, we (Chris Lux and Jim Collison) began to discuss the idea of private offsite backup for files stored on our Home Servers. Sure, there are applications out there like KeepVault, Carbonite or Amazon S3 that will allow you to back up to offsite servers for a fee. Jim even purchased a 1TB ioSafe Solo external drive for secure back up at home. But what if you don’t want your data the cloud or wanted offsite backup that is more cost effective (like free) and private? What if you could use the free space that is not being used on a family or friends computer? Your very own private cloud?
