Awesome post…

Is there anyway of monitoring the MAC Time Machine backups that HP WHS offers?

I do this with the "Remote Notification" WHS add-in. I get an email for each system as it powers on with it's last backup, if that backup is old. Have been for a year.

Very nice! Great Add-in. If you use your WHS for backups, this is a must have!

I don't know the reasons why it wasn't completed. You'd need to pick up the conversation with the guys over at Home Server Blog in Germany who managed the competition.

What do you mean 'it was dropped before a final release'?

Was it too tough for the programmer to solve??
What about doing the runner up instead?

Thanks guys! I've updated the app to support smtp.gmail.com, and have added a few more configuration options. Check the post for the new download location: http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/topic/1553...

This is great. I used the WHS Trigger addin to schedule a task from within the WHS Console. http://www.kentdome.com/whstrigger So cool

This is really cool, it works for me. I also added Brent Friedman's WHSAlert.exe to schedule a task that confirms the email notification has been sent with a message in the connector.

The guys over in Germany did release a couple of tech previews, but I believe it was dropped before a final release….

Wow he is one lucky guy to get a bespoke piece of software made for him by a seemingly random guy on the internet on his first post. Props to Sam Wood for taking the time out to do it (I suspect a fully featured Vail flavour may be in the pipeline). Also Terry what ever happened to the add-in competition, I thought the add-in would have been developed by now?
