Open the Windows Home Server Console With the Windows Home Server Console, you can see which of your PCs have been backed up and the backup status of each. To view your PCs, click the Computers and Backup tab. Select the PC you'd like to view, and then click View Backups to see a list of all the backups performed on that PC. Select a particular backup, and then click Open to view all the files backed up from that PC. Once you open a particular backup, you can easily view all the files that were backed up. And you can easily drag the files you want to restore to a folder on your computer.
