I had a couple of questions.</p> <p>How did you backup your DVDs to your computer? What software did you use? Are you using any third party codecs in media center? </p> <p>Are you compressing your DVDs at all? It seems like with all those DVDs, that you would run out of space with 4TB soon, especially if you are using that space for music, photos, and for backing up your other machines around the house. What does your free space look like?</p> <p>Does the online backup solution you use slow down access to your drives while it is backing up large files? Is streaming video/audio affected during backups?</p> <p>How is performance with the attached USB drives? Do you find that your streaming audio/video is affected when you copy large files onto the home server?</p> <p>I'm looking to make a similar setup, and would love to hear your answers.</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/echarran/archive/2008/05/08/architecture-of-the-charran-ehome.aspx#8635218Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:50:37 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8635218bartd<p>&gt;&gt; Does the online backup solution you use slow down access to your drives while it is backing up large files? &lt;&lt;</p> <p>I can answer this, as I also use KeepVault with my WHS machine. &nbsp;The backup is to remote servers, over the Internet. &nbsp;Thus the backup speed is limited by your upstream bandwidth. &nbsp;If you're very lucky you might have FIOS or a comparable connection, which might mean 5-10Mbps upstream bandwidth. &nbsp;That means that you're not going to be backing up more than 1 megabyte per second, which isn't enough to get approach saturating even an old, slow hard drive. &nbsp;</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/echarran/archive/2008/05/08/architecture-of-the-charran-ehome.aspx#8650292Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:29:18 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8650292Notes from the Field<p>For several months now I've been considering putting together a home network that meets the following</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/echarran/archive/2008/05/08/architecture-of-the-charran-ehome.aspx#8934351Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:20:01 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8934351Paraesthesia<p>Two Weeks In With Windows Home Server: What I've Learned</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/echarran/archive/2008/05/08/architecture-of-the-charran-ehome.aspx#8948564Sat, 13 Sep 2008 03:22:57 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8948564Paraesthesia<p>How To Set Up a DVD Library in Windows Media Server</p>
