Other than folder duplication, i'm not sure what else i get? I use stablebit drivepool which i see now supports windows 8.
I have network issues and the new gigabit nic card i got does not work with whs 2011 and i'm wondering if i should just give up and use Win 8 as my media "server".
(I don't currently schedule any type of backups or use any "special" features of WHS except duplicated a couple folders. I presume i can use win 8 file history to back those up?) I was about to return the NIC card and try another one until I started wondering if i even need WHS anymore.
