So I've heard, but running a complete separate server to do nothing but
back up Windows PCs that could back themselves up perfectly well if MS
hadn't chosen to intentionally cripple Windows Backup in Home versions
seems like a bad idea.  Sure, Home Server is cheaper than upgrading all
the Home machines to Pro, but then I've got to build another machine,
unless I can run Home Server in a VM on my Linux appserver.  And I am
not in general a fan of VMs.
