    Hello,

    How big of hard drive do I need to back up the Windows Server V1 operating system by itself? I have all of the shares backedup through folder duplication.  However, I would like to back the OS if it becomes corrputed.

    There's no supported way to back up the system partition. The supported recovery option for Windows Home Server V1 was (V1 has been out of support for a couple of years now) a server reinstallation/recovery. While you could use third party tools to back up the system partition, this is unsupported and results are not always good.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
