Using the one-touch USB backup feature
The USB backup button on the front panel allows you to back up the data from a USB
storage device to the Home Server. Windows Home Server first copies all files into
the Public shared folder, and then classifies the files according to their media type into
the corresponding shared folders, namely Music, Videos and Photos. When Windows
Home Server cannot determine the file type, the file is automatically stored in the Other
folder.

Attention:
• Only the front USB port supports the backup feature.
• The data backup feature supports only standard USB flash disks, USB
hard disks and USB card readers free of internal Hub.
(Note: “standard” refers to media that do not require specific drivers
and can be recognized directly by Microsoft Windows Home Server.)
1. Plug the USB device into the front USB connector
.
2. Press the USB backup button
. The USB backup indicator blinks blue.
3. All files on the USB storage device are copied into the Public shared folder.
Note: During the copy process, Windows Home Server checks the file
properties including time, size and file name to verify whether the same
file or a file of the same name already exists in the folder. If there is a
conflicting file name, the data will be copied and the file name will be
assigned a serial number. If the file of exactly the same properties already

exists in the Public shared folder, the file will be filtered out of the copy
process.
4. Afterwards, Windows Home Server automatically copies and classifies the
newly copied files according to their file type.
5. You can find files of different types in their corresponding shared folders (Music,
Videos and Photos). Files other than music, videos and photos are found in the
Other folder.
6. When the backup process is complete, the USB backup indicator turns solid
blue.

Note:
• Verifying that your router supports UPnP standards
This step verifies that your router supports the UPnP standard and that the
UPnP setting is turned on for your router. Support for the UPnP standard is
required for Windows Home Server to automatically configure your router.
• The following issues may cause this problem:
ÿ
You router is not turned on or is not connected to your network.
ÿ
The UPnP setting for your router is turned off.
ÿ
Your router does not support the UPnP standard.
• The following actions may fix this problem:
ÿ
Turn on your router and ensure your home server is connected directly
to it.
ÿ
Turn on the UPnP setting for your router.
If your router does support the UPnP standard, you can turn on the
UPnP setting. Click Configure Router to connect to the configuration
Web page for your router. For more information, see the documentation
for your router. After you turn on the UPnP setting, click Refresh on
the Router Configuration Details page to run the configuration tests
again.
ÿ
Purchase a new router that supports the UPnP standard.
You can purchase a new router if your router does not support the
UPnP standard and you do not want to manually configure your router.

Configuring the hard disk drive
Adding a hard disk drive
The system supports up to four 3.5-inch hot-swappable SATA hard disk drives.
Warning:
• The first hard drive, located at the bottom of the HDD bay, is not hotswappable.
• Use only hard drives provided by Lenovo.
Caution: Hard drives are formatted before they are added to the server storage.
Make sure that you back up any important files that are on the hard drive
before you add the drive to server storage. Formatting a hard drive deletes all
files on the hard drive.
1. Install the new HDD to the Home Server.
(1) Open the door of the Home Server.
