Learn How to Sync the Content of Two Windows Home Servers Together
In case you’ve ever been curious if it was possible to sync two Windows Home Server boxes together, the answer is YES. Home Server Hacks has posted a guide on using a freeware tool called SyncToy 2.0 by Microsoft that handles this very duty. Why would you want to do this? Two reasons mainly: 1) you want to migrate your stored files to a new Windows Home Server; 2) you’d like to have added protection of your precious files and want to keep an active copy available on a WHS machine in another room of the house (or perhaps the second WHS provides content to separate group of users in a multi-person household). Well, whatever your reason, the process is simple enough to accomplish and may be worth your time to set up.
