Windows 7 Compatibility EnhancementsWhen you install the Windows Home Server Connector and log on a computer running Windows 7, you can access the Windows Home Server shared folders from the Windows 7 libraries. After you install the Windows Home Server Connector to enable the home server backup for your computer running Windows 7, you can suppress the Action Center warning reminding you that Windows Backup has not been set up. Windows 7 is properly displayed as the operating system shown in the Computers & Backup tab.
Home Computer Backup and Restore EnhancementsWhen you restore files and folders from a Home Computer Backup, the process may stop when it is 79% to 97% complete. This update helps prevent this issue. The menu text and menu bar in the Explorer restore window now displays correctly on computers running Windows 7. Computers running Windows 7 now correctly wake up from sleep or hibernation to perform a backup. If you create a folder named Temp anywhere in you shared folders, it is now backed up the same as the other folders in your shared folder structure.
Windows Home Server Console EnhancementsThe Windows Home Server Console now supports low-resolution displays. The lowest resolution that is supported is 1024 x 600. Windows 7 is properly displayed as the operating system shown in the Computers & Backup tab.
Windows Media Center EnhancementsWindows Home Server can automatically archive recorded TV by moving your recordings from a Windows Media Center computer to your home server in the format of your choice. This enables playback in the correct format for your home computers and/or portable devices. You can view information about your home server’s storage space, hard drives, backup status, and more from Windows Media Center.
