I've pimped this thing numerous times in other threads. It's awesomeness is awesome.
It will do everything you need it to. I built one of my own on an existing PC I had and it has proven to be VERY useful and VERY reliable. It fully restored my gaming rig in less than an hour, drivers/OS, everything.
Only downside to this unit it you can't expand it much. Ideally I would re-use an old PC and load WHS on to it. It's hardware requirements are really low. I intend to replace the one I currently have with one that has around 10 HDD bays in it.
If you have any questions about it, please feel free to PM me. |
WHS is a good solution for sure - if you look at my previous post about not using RAID-1 to achieve redundancy, WHS nails this. In WHS, "protected files" are replicated between file systems on the WHS server, meaning that there are two copies, on two separate drives, on two separate file systems. This is transparent to the client machines, but accomplishes both goals - protecting against drive failure, and protecting against file system corruption.
