Reviewed on November 5, 2007Microsoft's Windows Home Server is the best, easiest-to-use answer to backing up and corralling all of the disparate media files in a networked home.

We recommend this system all the way to anyone looking to take full control of their data.TAGS:HP, server, Microsoft Windows, console, backup
