Amiga client for Windows Home Server
« on: October 29, 2014, 12:22:14 AM »
Hi dear fellow Amigaans. :-)

I recently came back to the Amiga after some years being stupid ;-)

I got Amiga 1200, 4000 and a sam440ep.

Having "maxed out" the 1200 and 4000 with mediators and 060's, and finally more or less gotten OWB to work on the sam, i'm getting bored. Not bored, bored, but wondering what i can actually USE the sam for. Sure i can browse MOST pages, unless i resize the window, and until it hangs and i need to restart the Amiga, but i mean, USE. for more than mail and basic surfing.

i would love a bit more modern games, although i use my old ones for colonization and napalm, i got openttd for the sam, which is great, but yeah.. i guess things will be more stable and fun when i get the 4.1 cd i ordered from amikit so i can update this lovely machine. :-)

However, that's not what i was gonna ask now, sorry for that... :-)

I got a Scaleo Home Server running windows home server, and i got my music, documents and movies on it.

I would like to be able to connect to it with my sam, BOTH so i can use it for streaming movies, or at least copy to and from it, but also it has a nice backup function, which i hope but doubt is in any way compatible with the amiga.

Anyone know more about this? the client for the pc is rather small but yeah... anyone know of a port or solution? or if i should forget this before i think more about it? :-D

Sham.-

Thanks to both for reply. :-) I have used the WHS v1 since it came on the market. (used to sell them where I worked :-) and all connected to it via gblan. I tried samba before, before 2004 but I found it unstable and a lot of hassle. Is it better now? I can remote control the WHS with rdesktop on my sam440ep, but yeah, easy file sharing... I guess I will look into samba again. :-)

What tools and scripts do you use to backup your amiga?

Thanks. :-D
