Back-Up: Built in Back-Up in Windows 7 vs. Windows Home Server?

[mshan]

If goal is just to back up files such as pics, videos, music, and word processing docs, is there any significant difference between using Back-Up utility built into Windows 7 vs. Windows Home Server (assuming second driver in Windows 7 computer has not failed)?

WHS is great if your backing up multiple machines, overkill if backing up one.

Bill,

Do you know which versions of Windows 7 are going to have image backup capability? I see the the "Ultimate" version (RC) does, but will the other version have it, too, or be limited to file-level backups?

I also see that MS has added Network backup capability to W7 backups. That's great.

Thanks.
