Windows Home Server Corrupts Files

Posted by timothy on from the handy-for-plausible-deniability dept.

crustymonkey points out a ComputerWorld article which says that "Microsoft Corp. has warned Windows Home Server users not to edit files stored on their backup systems with several of its programs, including Vista Photo Gallery and Office's OneNote and Outlook, as well as files generated by popular finance software such as Quicken and QuickBooks." Crustymonkey asks Don't back up your files to Windows Home Server, as recommended by Microsoft themselves? I'm not exactly sure what the point is in having a home server if you can't back up files on it."

      holding an attacker at gun point until the police show up

      Where's the fun in that? ;)

      Even in my fairly blue state (New York) you can legally blow someone away if they break into your house -- regardless of whether or not they are armed. If you break into my house I'm not very likely to try and "hold you at gunpoint" until the police arrive.

      A person in possession or control of any premises, or a person licensed or privileged to be thereon or therein, may use physical force upon another person when he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate what he or she reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission by such other person of a criminal trespass upon such premises. Such person may use any degree of physical force, other than deadly physical force, which he or she reasonably believes to be necessary for such purpose, and may use deadly physical force in order to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of arson, as prescribed in subdivision one, or in the course of a burglary or attempted burglary, as prescribed in subdivision three.

      We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.

    I would say after the first 0C:88:65:36:5C:65:14:8D:B5:3E:47:D9:20:11:9F:90 times it was worth a chuckle.
