Your'e onto something here. I love my home server at home backing up all my PC's and we have alot of clients sites that have more data tha nwe can backup onto a Dat72 tape. A home "stuff" server would be a useful tertiary backup solution. Just configure a baby Dell/HP server with 3 or 4 drives. Its like a baby SAN with smarts.

The last line of your post has a perfect new name for Home Server -- Side Server.

I was pretty much thinking the same thing as well. One of the insurance firms I admin has tons of music and video on their workstations and I could easily see WHS taking care of that data instead of the server box.

I also think you used your yearly quota of "stuff". ;)

Good read. :)
