"Your guide to all things Windows Home Server"
You Have Five Minutes to Get Out of Your House. What Would You Save?

A coworker recently forwarded me a program that he heard on Puget Sound Public Radio.  This call-in radio show was based on the following premise, "Pretend you had five minutes to get out of the house. What would you save? Your family and pets are already safe, so don't worry about them. What possession is irreplaceable to you?"

As he listened to this program, he told me that he thought about Windows Home Server. 

Many listeners wrote and called into the show to mention their precious memories.  The Windows Home Server team has received many remarkable stories as well!  Check out this thread in the Community Forums.  Windows Home Server has saved the loss of a stolen home computer, failed hard drives, and, in a few cases, saved people from themselves when they goofed and accidentally deleted important files.

What would I save?  I'm installing a carrying handle on my home server as you read this sentence.

I was thinking of the exact scenario a few months ago. I 100% agree with you Steven! Once the living members of my family are OK, the next thing on my list is my WHS box. I'm pulling out cables and I'm running for the hills!

PP1 + BDBB Add-In = offsite backup

virtualised WHS = offsite backup

Grab something else instead...
