這個週末我完成了我新的HP MediaSmart服務器連續窗口家庭服務器初次公開展出。 我定購了 HP MediaSmart服務器EX470. 我最初有窗口家庭服務器運行在我的小山谷維度E520，但退役它，當I 創造了我的「最後」個人計算機. 我真正地想試驗一般的消費者在購買窗口家庭服務器和設置將有它在他們的家的經驗。 HP MediaSmart服務器在控制中窗口家庭服務器經驗似乎像完善的選擇。
The HP MediaSmart Server EX470 has the following specs:
Usually, a person needs a backup when their disk drive fails. All disk drives fail sometime - there is no escape from that truth. But there are other reasons for keeping good backups:
Total disaster, such as a fire or flood that destroys the whole computer and all nearby backups.
Deliberate mischief, such as a virus that deletes important files.
Accidental deletion or modification of one or more files.
I’m sure there are more reasons, but if we cover these we’ll probably have the rest covered.
Drive Failure:
Disk drive failure can mostly be avoided by using two mirrored drives in a configuration known as RAID 1. RAID means Redundant Array of Independent Drives, and has several well-defined levels. RAID 1 is a simple comfiguration with two drives which always contain exactly the same information, hence the term “mirrored.” If either drive fails, the other simply becomes the system’s sole drive and takes over without a hitch. Since the probability of two drives failing at once is very small, RAID 1 pretty well covers that problem. The new computer here employs RAID 1.
I have reviewed online backup services before, but I never bit the bullet and signed up for any of them. I didn’t want to pay to access my data, and I didn’t like not knowing where exactly the “remote location” was that stored my data. Today I received an email about another service, which gave me a review account.
Crash Plan appears to have taken all the good elements of other online backup services and rolled them into one. For a $20.00, one-time fee, you get the software that will allow you to remotely backup 50 GB of data. Yes… I said 50. There are bigger plans for more money as well as a monthly subscription service.
The cool thing is that this is completely cross platform. You can back up the data from your Windows machine to your Mac. You can back up the Mac data to your Linux box. You can take the… you get the picture. To me, that alone is worth the $20.00. To be able to back up each of my systems
With Windows Server 2008 (Codename Longhorn) you will notice a new container called “Starter GPOs” inside the GPMC (version 2.0 - BTW this version will also be available as a separate download for Windows Vista with SP1).
This new container can hold what I would call “templates” for creating new GPO’s - with the limitation that only Administrative Template settings are available. When creating new GPO’s you can choose to use a Starter GPO as the source (read: template) - which makes it easy and fast to create multiple GPO’s with the same baseline configuration.
But, the very cool thing is that you can now “export” those GPO templates (Starter GPO’s) to a Cabinet file (.CAB) and then import into another environment - completely independent of the source domain/forest! So, you can create the PERFECT Starter GPO and then bring it around the world, share it on the Internet (if legal?), deploy it on all systems you can get a hold on etc. etc.
When you ‘enable’ Starter GPO’s in the domain for the first time, a folder called “StarterGPOs” is created inside the SYSVOL folder (\\domain.com\SYSVOL\domain.com\StarterGPOs) - this is where all the “magic” is done… For
