does a backup mean I can restore my computer in its entirety including os, programs and other files?
Yes. You boot from the
Recovery CD and you can restore your computer to your most recent backup.
therefore, if so, can i "backup" all my computers in my home? they have diff os and programs too.
Yes. Up to 10 different client PCs can be connected to (and backed up to) your server.
thanks guys for ur input.
You can get more info about backup and restore functionality by reading the
Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore.
