Simple Cube Home Server
For all your multimedia entertainment
PC Back up…
Simple Cube provides connection and back up for up to 10 PC’s, laptop or desktop, once the server is installed a small program is installed on each PC which communicates with the server, then a complete back up of each PC is performed, this includes Windows, all your programs and all the data – documents, emails, photos, music, everything. Then every night the server checks what’s changed and backs up the differences.
NEW! One of the most unique features of the new Acer home server is one touch USB backup. As the manual explains, the USB backup button on the front panel allows you to backup data from a USB storage device to the home server. Windows Home Server copies all files into the Public shared folder first then classifies the files according to media type into their corresponding shared folders – namely Music, Videos, Photos.When Windows Home Server cannot determine file type, the file is automatically stored into the Others folder.
Restore…
Should your PC crash or run into problems, simply insert the restore disc, this locates the server and lists all your back up points, choose the back up you’d like to restore and the server restores your complete PC, Windows, programs and data, depending on size of data this can take between 30 minutes and 3 hours, your back up and running in no time without all the worry and hassle of reinstalling all those Windows updates, programs and wondering if you’ll ever see your data again.
