Windows Home Server 2011 released yesterday to MSDN and as expected I upgraded that night. By upgrade I mean a fresh install and copy of the entire 3TB worth of data on my old server (which took all night). Now that I've achieved the latest and greatest, my post-upgrade excitement crash is greater than usual. I quickly discovered my Windows Server 2003 machine is no longer supported for backup, and not one of the machines I added was able to perform a successful backup. Plus the removal of drive extender means I have to fit all my videos on a single drive, which just barely fit on my new 2TB. Not even a full day after my upgrade, I'm back to the original Home Server which works just fine. I declare WHS 2011 a downgrade, as it removes functionality and from what I could tell added nothing spectacular in return.
