I seem to have brought some structure into our home network with the help of a small Win2K3 SBS server. Most of the benefits are in the realm of systems administration but there are a few very good points for the users, such as backups of files, roaming profiles etc.

There is a bit of a problem with the backups though. I have a LVD-SCSI DLT tapedrive but my controler card have gone missing between the last house and this one. It’s probably a very good indication I need to organise my mostly quite outdated hardware but perhaps I should just get an external HDD and replicate the lot.

Safe to say my home network isn’t mission critical but my wife is my most important user.
