  WHS does not support to Backup folders froms drives that are bigger as 2 TB. This is so crazy. Standard Windows 2008 R2 support drives bigger as 2 TB without any problem.
  Is there a reason for this?

  R2 does not support backing up full volumes larger than 2 TB which is what
  WHS 2011 Server Backup does. R2 only supports backup targets of larger than
  2 TB when manually selecting files and folders which is not possible with
  the WHS 2011 Server Backup Wizard.

  You can't go home again, unless you set $HOME.

  You are also able to select only few folders in the backup wizard. But you have not the option to select folders on volumes bigger as 2 TB. Standard Windows 2008 R2 Backup CAN DO this. (Backup is currently running on my maschine)
