Windows Server Essentials 2016 problem adding second drive for client backups
I've been successfully using WSE2016 since 2023 only for personal use to back up several PCs. A couple of months ago it failed, possibly the result of multiple power outages here in Florida. After trying to recover I gave up and did a new install using the same two 1TM SSDs as before...- samsquared2
