Hi Folks,

Has anyone or does anyone know if external USB Tape Drives Work with WHS? I would think that it would, and would love to get one to backup my device occasionally. Basically plug it in to WHS, leave it on and a occasional tape in it to do a backup for the "critical OS" layer components.

Just curious if anyone knew of this data or has already tried it.

Any success stories for tape backup devices are welcomed feedback.

Short answer: No, I do not believe this is supported or tested.

Please understand that the OS is NOT critical. The system is designed to have the OS re-loaded, and all duplicated data stored on the server will be recovered. This is the exact point of Server Recovery. Trying to get fancy by ghosting/backing up the OS will only cause you problems...
