微軟嵌入式系統開發工具更新軟體 - Windows Embedded Developer Update (WEDU)

Windows Embedded Developer Update 簡稱WEDU, 讓Windows Embedded開發者較容易的取得開發環境的更新,比起過去透過微軟的ECE網站每個月下載最新更新檔,需要透過CLA簽署取得帳號密碼權限,可以說是簡化了很多。

WEDU預設為成長駐程式,自動偵測目前開發工具的版本及更新,將目前合適的更新檔分類及提供更新檔描述。目前WEDU僅支援Standard 7,後續Compact 7也將有機會WEDU來更新。

WEDU對於Windows Embedded Developers的主要特色有:

  • 主要告知目前合適的更新項目
  • 簡化操作的選單及快速下載
  • 快速安裝更新檔至開發環境
  • 控制需要更新的開發環境
  • 儲存更新記錄、忽略選擇性非必要的更新選擇

Download “Windows Embedded Developer Update” thru Microsoft Download Center here.

Chose the right Windows Embedded Standard certification for you:

善用【微軟家用伺服器】讓家用電腦輕鬆的備份及回復 - Windows Home Server ClientBackup and Restore

 

以上的情境相信是現在的電腦使用者最可怕的夢靨,而究竟 WHS 在系統備份提供了那些功能及技術,讓筆者一一為您說明:

WHS 具備的是以區塊為主 (block-based) 的備份技術,可以設定為以磁碟為系統整機的備份或只備份特定的資料夾及檔案,最多可支援十部電腦備份,以增量備份的方式進行,減少備份時磁碟所需容量,不過備份功能目前僅支援 NTFS 檔案系統。

單一版本儲存 (Single instance store - SIS)

這項技術簡單的說就是相同的資料在伺服器上不會佔用重覆的空間,例如:同時備份十部安裝 Windows 7 作業系統的電腦,而當中有相當多的系統檔案是重複地的,所以 Windows Home Server 在伺服器端相同的檔案只會儲存一份,藉由這個機制可以大大節省磁碟空間及備份效率。

排程備份

你可以設定系統閒置時段進行備份、備份的啟迄時段、設定每日、每周、每月備份的還原點數量、手動刪除特定的還原點、選擇備份的目標磁碟等,時間一到系統還可以自動將電腦喚醒進行備份。

備份狀態提示:

將備份的狀況顯示在使用者的電腦端,告訴使用者目前的狀態是 Healthy, Warning, Error 讓使用者了解備份的狀態或系統警訊,甚至太久沒有備份也會提醒你。

還原單一檔案或資料夾:

在 WHS 裡不需要為了還原一個檔案,而將整個磁碟還原,你可以選擇需要的檔案再進行還原,在主控台 (WHS Console) 裡的【電腦與備份】項目裡,選擇你要還原的時間點,透過【開啟】功能,系統就會將該備份的檔案及資料夾呈現出來,你只需要選擇你要的檔案,按下還原或直接複製到目前的系統就可以了。

系統還原:

當系統損毀或其它因素無法開機時,可以透過內建 Window PE 的還原光碟 (Home Computer Restore CD) 開機,透過網路架構及還原精靈選擇要還原的時間點進行還原,還原精靈也支援不同容量硬碟的還原,因此你可以利用此功能,將較小容量的系統硬碟轉移到較大容量,若遇到網路卡無法支援時也可以利用手動的方式加入網路卡驅動程式。
