I have a MediaSmart Server (MSS) that I was able to hook into my first generation Touchsmart for backups, in fact, it backs up all of my PCs in my network.

The really cool thing about the MSS is that you don't actually have to put any of your media on the TouchSmart if you don't want to.  Just put it on the MSS and access it from any of your PCs around your house including the Touchsmart, then you don't have to worry about duplication of media files and keeping duplicate folders in sync.

There's many other benefits too, which you can read about on MediaSmartHome.com.

I personally love folder share for backup to my server.

Windows has ket this in beta for like 2 years but I love it. Backup automatically, share files with others, It does it all.

If you like the TouchSmart Community and have a Sansa player then check out the Sansa Community!

People, I'd recommend using this duplicate file finder to deal with unnecessary files on your hard drive. It has many functions, user-friendly interface, safety options and 100% efficiency.

I use the pocket media drive for my backups. I have a drive for my media and another for my backups. My software of choice is Acronis True Image.

Just realized that with my PMD, my network storage and my second 750 gig "swap drive" that I have almost 2TB of storage!!
