|  Re: [WHS] Try Windows Home Server for 120 days
The WHS backups my wife's XP Pro machine and my Vista Ultimate laptop automatically on a daily basis, something I never had in the past. I also setup a remote access account and privileges for my brother (who lives in Florida) and myself. My brother has access to shared folders/files while I have access to shared folders/files and my own specifically owned folder. He also has a WHS running and I have similar privileges on his machine, ie. access to shared folders/files only. My wife only has access to shared folders/files and her specificlly owned folder on the WHS. She does not have remote access privileges.
Remote Desktop access is easy and fast to my wife's XP Pro machine if I need it.
All access to my WHS and shared folders/files or Remote Desktop to access my wife's XP Pro machine is via a web based interface that requires two ports to be opened on any firewall/router the WHS is behind, ie. TCP Port 443 and TCP Port 4125.
