Good show as always, Dave.
For your user that wrote in with the corrupt Backup DB – does the Backup repair work? This may lose some of his backups but could preserve the ones that aren’t damaged…
Hi yakuza, I am the user with the backup db problem. Yes I have ran several Backup repairs and they all come back within a few minutes that all backups are good. The file that is being reported missing is “GlobalCluster.4096.dat” but I can see it on the drive.
Not sure what else to try at this point. If I have to I can start backups from scratch but there is a backup of 1 PC that I would really like to get back.
Dave, thanks for the help on this and reading my e-mail on the podcast.

Question:
Could I forgo the molex pin portion of the instructions by purchasing a 20-Pin to 24-Pin ATX Adapter Cable (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186&products_id=2909)?
Thank you for posting the wiki entry for replacing a MediaSmart PSU. I’m in this predicament and was told by HP that I’d have to send in my ex475 for repair — it’s 8-9 mos. out of warranty.
Thx Again,

Hi Paul, I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot more, if you’d like to post in the MediaSmartServer.net forums (I hope Dave doesn’t mind me directing you there
), it’s easier for me to keep track there.
Edgebert, since you came over to the forums and posted, it looks like we got you working with a new power supply, glad the tutorial was helpful!

For the question early in the show about syncing I se to basicly good methods, either use windows live mesh that can be setup to sync different computers over the internet. Or use a VPN connection it is probably easyest to set up using hamachi and then use one of the hundreds of network syncing tools. Personally I like the second aproce since it gives me all of the functionality of a networked computer over the internet, but if it is used purely for syncing, the mesh aproche is probably slightly easyer to setup and will work just as well.
