Your Own Home Server

I think this is the future of home computing — to manage all your digital life, a home server would store all your music, video, photos, files and more. The benefits of the Microsoft Home Server are (from the Microsoft website):

• Back up and restore files and PCs - Windows Home Server completes an image-based back up of every home computer every day, so you can restore a single file or an entire PC.
• Access your data anywhere - You and your family can now access the home network-at home, in the office, or even on the road.
• Store and share digital files - Organize your digital media in a central location, making it easier to share photos, music, videos, and more.
• Increase your storage capacity - Easily increase your data storage, by adding additional internal or external hard drives of any size, and install innovative add-ins to make the most of your home network.
