More WHS Backup options
Some updates on options for online backup of Windows Home Server:
- For a brief period it looked like Mozy would be releasing a WHS client but that turns out not to be the case. I'd let my free trial with KeepVault lapse in anticipation of the Mozy product being released. Oh well :-(
- Found Backblaze - ($US5/month unlimited) but doubt they work with WHS. Casey from the Backblaze team responded to an email query saying "..don't have any plans for supporting Server OS like Windows Home Server"
- Others have recommended CrashPlan, and certainly their prices are competitive with Mozy and Carbonite. Whilst it isn't officially supported with WHS, at least it gets a mention on their support site. Poster "Scott" goes into more detail on how he got it working with WHS.

Adam Cogan on PerformancePoint 2010
Last night the Adelaide SQL Server User Group had Adam Cogan visit us from Sydney to talk about Microsoft PerformancePoint 2010. Adam is Chief Architect of SSW, a Microsoft Regional Director and a Microsoft MVP (Visual Studio Team System).
Usually the meetings are at lunchtime, but the group were asked to move to the evening timeslot this month (something about a Windows Phone 7 series talk). The other difference was that we got KFC supplied for supper.
Adam stepped through the features of PerformancePoint 2010 and showed some of the new additions. Probably the most significant is that it ceases to be a separate (expensive) product and now will ship as part of SharePoint Server 2010.
It was an entertaining evening, with a lively discussion between Adam and the audience. At the end of the night I think it's fair to say we'd all learned a lot (even Adam!)
