TI Home 2010 and W7 to Replace WHS

Thread needs solution

Looks like MSFT is going to do it to me again. First it was my all time favorite MSMoney and now it looks like they want to kill Windows Home Server too. So... I have set up a Home Server using W7 and want to use TI to keep a backup of the shared stuff. I have been using TI Home 2010 Build 7046 since day 1 and it is solid on my systems. However, I have used it primarly for partition backups and disaster recovery via the Boot CD. I am setting it up on the "Server" to schedule a backup of My Stuff to a separate disk drive on a regular basis. However, WHS spoiled me since it just runs and runs with no issues unattended! Is there a way to get TI Home 2010 or 2011 to manage the backups so that I do not have to do a cleanup periodically to free up space? Looks like TI will do that for Online Backups but am I missing something on local backups? Suggestions appreciated. Anybody else heading down this path?

Ken:

I will continue to run my Windows Home Server until it keels over, even if Microsoft stops supporting it. It has been one of the most elegant backup solutions that I've ever used. The de-duplication database is first-rate and enables keeping a large amount of backups in mimimal storage space. I hope the rumors about the demise of WHS are not true.

I'll let others answer your question about automating TI data backups; I've never used these features of the program, preferring only partition imaging.

Looks like TI does everything I want it to do in the "Optional Steps" section of the Backup Wizard. Sorry I wasted everybody's time by asking a dumb question!
