The configuration interface was designed to be user-friendly enough that it could be set up without prior knowledge of server administration. The configuration interface, called the Home Server Console, was delivered as a Remote Desktop Protocol application to remote PCs while the application ran on the server itself, the GUI was rendered on the remote system. The Home Server Console client application could be accessed from any Windows PC. The server itself required no video card or peripherals; it was designed to require only an Ethernet card and at least one Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer.
Users (specifically those who configure a family's home server) dealt with storage at two levels: Shared Folders and Disks. The only concepts relevant regarding disks was whether they had been "added" to the home server's storage pool or not and whether the disk appeared healthy to the system or not. This was in contrast with Windows' Logical Disk Manager which requires a greater degree of technical understanding in order to correctly configure a RAID array.

If duplication was on for a Shared Folder (which was the default on multi-disk Home Server systems and not applicable to single disk systems) then the files in that Shared Folder were duplicated and the effective storage capacity was halved. However, in situations where a user may not have wanted data duplicated (e.g. TV shows that had been archived to a Windows Home Server from a system running Windows Media Center), Drive Extender provided the capability to not duplicate such files if the server was short on capacity or manually mark a complete content store as not for duplication.[22]
Windows Home Server Computer Backup automatically backs up all of the computers in a home to the server using an image-based system that ensures point-in-time-based restoration of either entire PCs or specific files and folders.[24] Complete bare-metal restores are initiated through a restore bootable CD, file based restores are initiated through the WHS client software which allows the users to open a backup and "drag and drop" files from it. This technology uses Volume Shadow Services (VSS) technology on the client computer to take an image based backup of a running computer. Because the backup operates on data at the cluster level, single instancing can be performed to minimize the amount of data that travels over the network and that will ultimately be stored on the home server. This single instancing gives the server the ability to store only one instance of data, no matter if the data originated from another computer, another file, or even data within the same file.
Computer backup images are not duplicated on the server, so if a server hard drive fails, backups could be lost. The "Server Backup" feature added in Power Pack 1 does not include duplication of backup images.
The system also supports Terminal Services Gateway, allowing remote control of the desktop of any Windows computer on the home network.[19][25] Currently supported systems are those which would normally support Remote Desktop: Windows XP Professional, Tablet and Media Center editions, Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions and Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions. The web interface also supports embedding the Remote Desktop ActiveX control, to provide remote access to home computers from within the web interface directly. Remote sessions can also connect to the Home Server console to configure the server over the internet.[19]
Windows Home Server features integration with Windows XP (SP2 or newer), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (after the release of Power Pack 3) through a software installation, either from a client CD or via a network share.[27] The connector software may also be installed by accessing yourserver:55000 through a web browser, where a link is provided to download the connector software and to install troubleshooting tools. Files stored on Windows Home Server are also available through a Windows share, opening compatibility to a wide variety of operating systems. Also, the Administration console is available via Remote Desktop, allowing administration from unsupported platforms.
Integration of the file sharing service as a location for Mac OS X's Time Machine was apparently being considered,[30] but upon Mac OS X Leopard's release, Apple had removed the ability to use the SMB file sharing protocol for Time Machine backups.[31] One WHS provider, HP, provides their own plug-in with their home server line capable of Time Machine backup to a home server.[32]
Dedicated devices will have the operating system pre-installed and may be supplied with a server recovery disk which reloads the OS over a network connection. This is utilized on the HP MediaSmart Server,[33] and the Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo Home Server.
The first release of Windows Home Server, RTM (release to manufacturing), suffered from a file corruption flaw whereby files saved directly to or edited on shares on a WHS device could become corrupted.[34] Only the files that had NTFS Alternate Data Streams were susceptible to the flaw.[35] The flaw led to data corruption only when the server was under heavy load at the time when the file (with ADS) was being saved onto a share.[36]
Windows Home Server RTM did not include a mechanism for backing up the server. Power Pack 1 added the ability to back up files stored on the Shared Folders, to an external drive.[8] Users can also subscribe to 3rd-party online services, for a fee. However, there remains no way to back up the installed server operating system. Backing-up of the client backup database is available either manually using the instructions provided by Microsoft on page 24 of this document or can be done using the WHS BDBB add-in written by Alex Kuretz and available from this website.
I moved to Windows Server 2012R2E (in skipdomainjoin mode) when MS stopped supporting home server. It was too time consuming to maintain so I just use W10 on the box as a File Server, Media Server and Backup Server. All those NAS's just don't have enough OOMPH. There are many great posts out there on how to achieve this but IMO the best guy is Terry Walsh from "We Got Served". I have recently connected to my W10 server using ASUS 10-Gigabit Adapters and wow does it fly.
In reply to Poppapete:This was my thought as well. A regular Windows 10 machine would check all of these boxes. Shared folders and backup storage is easy. Minecraft server obviously wouldn't be a problem. And when you lay Media Center to rest, the machine could easily pull double (triple?) duty as a Plex server or similar.
Just received a help call from my parents who are having problems with a machine at home running WHS. Basically there are some hardware problems with the machine, and the only thing that my parents know how to do is to buy a IDE-USB converter and attach the hard disk to another machine.
I have had a HP Proliant Microserver sitting around for years waiting for me to configure it as a home server. My main uses will be storing media (photos, music. videos), file access and backups. It will be on a wired network with two Windows 8 laptops (and maybe a smart TV much later). I have WHS2011 available and also Ubuntu Linux distribution. I am reasonably familar with the Windows environment but have limited knowledge of Linux. I have two simple questions that I cannot find answers to despite trawling through endless websites and forums.
2/ If I go the Linux route (which I like because of the low overhead in hardware etc) how do I connect the Windows laptops on the network and will the Windows-based packages on my laptops such as Microsoft Office and my utilities (eg backup software) be able to access the storage on the Linux-based server.
I open it up (it's a tool-less case) and swap out the drive. I can't find my Windows Home Server Restore CD so on my other machine I go to \\server\software\Home PC Restore CD and there's a readme.txt file that says:
The "missing piece" is that Windows Home server (and Windows XP) do not have any disk drivers that work with ESX in the default install (they have IDE disk drivers and ESX only supports SCSI (either LSI or Buslogic). So in Windows XP you have to hit "F6" during the "blue screen" part of the install to add a driver from floppy. On Windows Home Server they've spiffed it up so that it stops and asks you for a disk driver so you don't have to furiously press F6 during the boot :-). So part one is you need a floppy image with the necessary drivers on it
Questions about hardware or software used in a home setting are off-topic because they require answers that may not be practical for the business and support professionals here. You should try asking on Super User instead.
WHS setup informs me that I can either get a new domain name through their wizard, or transfer my domain to a supported registrar and then they can configure it for me. Does anyone know if it is possible to manually configure the domain name to point to my home server through without transferring to a Microsoft-approved registrar?
I guess I'm curious as to whether Microsoft simply manages name-server references for the domain name and can only do that with some agreed partners, or whether they do something more complicated for routing traffic to the home server (perhaps some sort of VPN? I potentially don't know what I'm talking about here).
