Re: SBS 2008 as media server?

Andy:

The answer to both this question and the one regarding backups below is a
great system from MS called Windows Home Server.

Acts as streaming media server and will backup, bit by bit, and only the
changed bits, up to 9 PCs plus the SBS on the network.

Larry,

When you say backup SBS, does the server backup to it, or it backs up the
server?

How is exchange handled? Will it work with SBS2003?
