Two new tools have been released which are not add-in’s but utilities which are designed to help you get more from the Windows Home Server database.

The first is called WhsDbDump which dumps your Windows Home Server backup database data files to human readable .txt and .xml files for examination. This tool is more of an informational learning tool than an actual utility as it was created to help the developer better understand how the database works.

The second utility is WhsDbCheck, which performs comprehensive checks on the Windows Home Server backup database looking for consistency problems which could occur.

Both tools run under the command prompt direct from the Home Server machine. More information is available from the developer?s site Windows Home Server - SafeBackup.
