I want to test file restore, so my first instinct is, use Windows Explorer.
After hunting around, the only thing I can find is the Backup Now button in the properties for the C drive.
Very strange that “Backup Now” doesn’t start a backup wizard, but instead displays the Backup Status and Configuration screen which includes restore functions.
Weird, but it does have for what I was looking… Restore.
OH no!
It says “There are no backups available on this computer.”
That is scary to me as a user. Fortunately I realize that MS just doesn’t use their vista backup system to backup with Windows Home Server. I can’t imagine why not. Is it not good enough?
So far, the only way I have found to restore files with Home Server is to actually login to the Home Server Console. Good enough, I guess.
