How does automatic PC client backup work on the HP MediaSmart Server ?

Once you install the MediaSmart Server client software on a PC, it will automatically be backed up to the HP MediaSmart Server. This client software must be installed on each PC that you wish to include in the backup operation. The sophisticated WHS backup algorithm copies files, folders, and complete images of the PC hard drive. It can recognize the same file in two or more places, and will keep only one copy of the file, but with multiple pointers, in order to save storage space on the MediaSmart Server. You can optionally customize the backup by selecting which volumes on the PC to backup, what files to exclude, the backup window, and the number of revisions to keep. You can also configure the Server to automatically ‘Wake up’ both the Server and PCs, when a backup is about to start.
