Add-in Update: Windows Home Server BDBB 1.0.1.6

Alex Kuretz is back with an all new version of Windows Home Server BDBB (Back-up Database Back-up), the add-in that backs up your database of home computer backups.

The community over at Alex’s site, mediasmartserver.net, have been working with Alex to improve the add-in, nailing a couple of performance issues and requesting new features, all of which have been taken into account in the new version.

WHS BDBB

Here’s what’s new in 1.0.1.6:

  • Correctly shows available space for Server Storage
  • Correctly displays TrueCrypt encrypted drives
  • Automatically backs up the Client Registry keys necessary to properly link the backups with the Client PCs
  • Automatically backs up the entire WHS.reg in case the user wants to manually restore part or all of the registry
  • Prompts user to restore the backed up Client Registry keys when restoring the Backup DB
  • Supports backup and restore to network locations, including UNC and Samba shares

Nice work, Alex!

    I am new to WHS. Can you explain to me why I would use this add-in vs. adding an additional hard drive to my WHS, but not add it to the pool and backup my server to that HD via the standard backup method. Hopefully this makes sense…
