Microsoft Windows Home Server

The Windows Home Server operating system backup engine stores data at the cluster level. Clusters are
typically 4 kilobytes (KB) in size. The backup database records include clusters and hashes of these
clusters (a hash is a number that uniquely identifies a cluster based on its contents). The database also
contains information on the structure of a hard disk volume (NTFS information).

During the backup process, a cluster from one computer that is identical to a cluster from a different
computer is sent to the server exactly once and stored exactly once. Because Windows Home Server
backs up multiple computers (space) every day (time) to a single database, it in essence supports "single
instancing of computer backups across space and time."

When the cluster size is different among volumes, no data is shared between the volumes in the backup
database. By default, every newly created NTFS volume gets a cluster size of 4 KB. A few volumes that
started out as FAT and were converted to NTFS have a cluster size of 512 KB. The only way to get any
other cluster size is to format the volume yourself and explicitly request a different size.

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE:

You can maximize the efficiency of the Data Vault backup database by ensuring that all of the

hard drives on your computers are formatted with NTFS and with a cluster size of 4 KB.

The backup database is a collection of files that can be broken into three categories
