    When I create a new shared folder using the Windows Home Server Console application, I noticed a checkbox called "Enable Folder Duplication" - what does this do?

    Any folder that you select "Enable Folder Duplication" will duplicate that folder on to multiple disks.  This protects you from losing your files/data that are in that folder to hard drive failure.

    Just for clarification.  Multiple disks on the Home Server or multiple disks across the network.  I guess what I'm asking is, can I sync my Photos directory from all of my PCs to the home server and then have that "unified" directory sync back out?

    Does folder duplication literally copy the files to another disk with no extra trickery involved ? So if I enable folder duplication I effectively cut my storage capacity by 50%...?

    Or does it use similar technology to Raid 5 for example, so I'd not be hit with such a large capacity loss?

    Cheers

    when you say multiple disks - exactly what do you mean?

    2 disks, or all of them? One feature i thought might be useful is to be able to specify the importance of each share, so a very important share (eg - photos) would get copied to every disk in the storage pool.

    Thanks.
