    Hi

     

    Is there any way of configuring the home server to backup changes to the shared folder automatically on a daily basis or even better, as they change?

     

    I have moved to adding my spare HD as a slave for the backup, which means I have lost the convenience of folder duplication.

     

    What we really need is Folder duplication, with a sensible file structure like the new backup option.

    No, there is no way to configure Windows Home Server to automatically back up changes to your shares. However, you can use a third party tool such as robocopy or SyncToy, both of which are free and can be scheduled.

    You should post this question in the Power Pack 1 Beta forum.
