I know this topic has come up many times before but rather than adding my questions to someone else's thread i figured i should make my own.
I currently have a HTPC with 3 1TB HD's in it and then another machine that i use as a backup server with another 3 1TB drives in it. I would like to combine all of the HD's into 1 box and make a true backup server. My initial thoughts were to use windows home server because the drives are not identical but im not sure on how to do such a thing. How would I get the data from my HTPC to the WHS without doing some sort of backup through WHS? And what about redundancy? It kind of scares me to have all of my media in one place but not have any sort of redundancy.
If WHS is not the best option for what i want could someone recommend something for me? Also, if i didnt explain this well enough im sorry.
