I have an HP MediaSmart Home Server (ex487), running
software version 2.5. I recently got a windows 7 box
and do not know if the server will back it up properly.

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance,

If you are referring to Microsoft's Windows Home Server, then yes, it will.

Yes, that is the OS the HP machine uses. Will it work for 64 bit
Win 7 too?

Thanks,
