where are the actual data files located on the hard drive?

Question

What is the path to where the files are stored on each drive (as opposed to virtual pointers or share names), so that if the OS fails I can retrieve them on another PC?Wednesday, August 25, 2010 4:03 AM

No. the backup database is only readable using the tools in Windows Home Server. It's possible, if the database isn't damaged by a server failure, to "move" the database to another server; you'll find more about that in the Home Computer Backup and Restore technical brief available from the Microsoft web site (and linked at least dozens of times in this forum :) ).
