One of the features I really like in WHS is the ability to do a complete restore one of my computers. I keep a backup copy of a computer from the time it was newly built so that I can go back to this 'clean slate' if needed. However I could lose this clean backup if WHS ever goes down for some reason. <br><br>I would therefor like to be able to duplicate those backups that I have set to be kept. Maybe they could stay in a special shares folder?<br><br>Andy© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
