I've always hesitated when using this term "home server", which Microsoft
probably coined to make a backup unit (and some gizmos) seem like more than it
is... other than a shredder of photos, finances, etc. Remember that retention
was its key function, the 'bread and butter' which Microsoft screwed up badly
while paying attention to things nobody will use.
