Microsoft Pulls Windows Home Server Backup Feature

Microsoft confirmed that it has yanked parts of a backup feature from a major upgrade to its Windows Home Server software scheduled for release later this year.

Recent posting on several blog sites, including "We Got Served" last week and ZDNet's "All About Microsoft" Thursday, said that the database backup feature of the upcoming Power Pack 1 had been pulled from the update.

The We Got Served blog cited several messages on the Windows Home Server (WHS) support forum from Power Pack 1 beta testers who claimed server-wide backup had been ditched because of difficult-to-solve bugs.
