    For that first you have to add the external hard drive to the Windows home server so that you can perform the backup on the same. After adding it just go to the Computer & backup tab and the right click on the server whose back up you wish to create and select Backup now from the Context menu. A click the destination as external hard driver and the click on the Backup now button to create backup. Thats it !!!!

    Windows Home Server will automatically backup your home computers to the home server and allow you to easily restore the entire computer or an individual file or folder to a previous point in time. The Windows Home Server Backup solution backs up only the data that has not already been backed up. Even if you have several copies of the same data on different computers, the data is backed up only once on your home server and your home server keeps track of what data was stored on each home computer on each day. This makes it efficient in the time it takes for backups to complete and the amount of space that is used on your home server.
