I am still looking for a suitable way to centralize mail without resorting to Exchange Server but am leaning towards building a rack server purely to run Exchange on.

Not very happy in that the Server OS cannot be backed up to WHS but mail is very important to me.

This was highlighted last week when the PSU in my main workstation bit the dust and I could not obtain a new one off the shelf.

All of my mail was locked up on that workstation and, despite having 2 x laptops, a netbook and Media PC i was unable to access my mailbox.

Sure I could use webmail to keep abreast of current emails but I could not refer back to anything as all of my history was locked up on the PC as was my Documents etc.

After the PSU outage I need to rethink my whole network strategy as it showed how vulnerable I am to having my main PC go down with no redundancy.

Mind you the WHS PSU is most definitely a weak link in itself...

Kind regards,

The Server OS like Windows 2003 running on another machine can be setup as a client to WHS and backed up.
