Hello,
Can somebody please summarize (in detail) the restrictions regarding WHS 2011 and drives larger than 2 TB (including 3 tb hard drives and much larger RAID volumes). I am not interested in using WHS as a file server or for media streaming - only for backup. I have seen it mentioned in several threads that WHS 2011 can not back up the server to drives larger than 2 TB, but I have not seen any mention about client backups. Does WHS 2011 have a limitation of the size of the client backups? I've googled this several times, but the only results that I can find talk about server backups, not client backups. My WHS v1 backup database is about 1.8 TB so I have little doubt that I will exceed 2 TB within the next few months, so I want to make sure that I have enough backup storage in place. So, my question is, can the total size of the WHS 2011 client backups exceed 2 TB? In my case, the majority of the client backup size comes from a single client PC.
In other words, if my client backups grows larger than 2 TB, do I need to find another backup solution or will WHS 2011 work for me?
Regards,
Jon
