    Backup server problems


    I have set up an HP XW 9400 Workstation on my local network to serve as a backup server for my other four computers. The system disk drive (c:) has 156 of 186GB free, and the drive on which I save the backups has 109 of 465GB free.

    I set up the backup drive with separate folders for each machine being backed up, since I ran into a problem trying to do an image backup of more than one machine. Now I'm getting messages saying that an invalid MediaID.bin file exists when I try to back up one of my systems.

    Why is it so difficult to make Windows 7 backup work? Am I missing something? (Probably am. It's usually the nut behind the wheel that's at fault.)

    You have to have Win 7 Professional or above to back up on a network using the built in back up.

Someone is giving me their older computer, with pretty unimpressive specs. The only thing I'm concerned about is the 512MB of memory. On the other hand, I'm only planning on using the computer to act as a torrent and backup "server." Will I have any issues running Win7? How about 64-bit,...
