"If it ain't broke...don't fix it" I violated this basic premise and now I must pay for this grave sin. I hope you won't have too also.
I installed PP1 on my Test Server last week and everything went exceptionly well. I added one of my clients using the new Connector and all went well. It has performed six nightly backups and all went well.
So, today I decided to install PP1 on my operational WHS with 8 Clients. It has been a complete disaster!!!!!!
First, after the install, an error popped up that said the Backups were corrupted. It offered a Repair Wizard. So, I chose that. When it was finished it saidf most of my client's backups were corrupted and/or deleted. The one or two remaining that were partially restored looked okay but I needed to install the new connector to really see if they were or not. I tried installing using http://SERVER:55000/ to no avail on either of the remaining clients. I tried going directly to the shares/Software/Home Servdr Connector Software folder and selecting setup.exe. None of these worked. All of these attempts gave me this message:
"Setup has detected that the Windows Home Server Connector or Admin Console is currently running. Please close all Windows HomeServer windows and run setup again."
Well, I have closed everything and even rebooted the Server and the clients several times each and still get this message.
So, I have lost all of my backups and destroyed a perfectly running WHS operation because I violated the Number 1 rule. I advise not to follow my example and only stick to PP1 on a test rig for now as it obviously has some problems.
I will try to send a Bug report if I can get a log from the Server but it sees to be toast so I don't think that will work.
