I am glad to see that there are still some active forums.
I am running a HP MSS EX495.with its original software, HP's version of WHS. I really don't use it for backup, but file sharing, remote access, streaming and such.
The other day I got a warning that I was about out of storage and in checking into it I found that backup was using 81% of my 3.2 TB. I thought I had backups turned off, but I guess not.
Anyway, I tried back-up clean-up which locks up at 10% fixed database tied again with same results. Tried server recovery which failed 3 times.
So, is it worth it to upgrade to WHS 2011 and keep it going or will there soon be a alternative that would be better and cheaper?
I see that most MSS and WHS forums are dying off, hardware upgrade parts are becoming valuable antiques so I wonder how long this will be good for?
Thanks, Rich
