About the Restore Tool

Your Home Server is capable of copying files to the connected USB hard disk drive for backup purposes and copying them back to the Home Server for restoration (Home Server backup and Home Server restore).

The Restore Tool allows you to copy the backup files from the USB hard disk drive to a personal computer. This tool is automatically installed along with the PC Link software.

VAIO Media software

The VAIO Media software allows access to music, photo, and video contents on your Home Server from all personal computers on the home network.

Tips

The VAIO Media software supplied with your Home Server does not support the Windows Vista 64-bit operating system. If your VAIO personal computer supports the Windows Vista 64-bit operating system, you can use the pre-installed VAIO Media plus software to take advantage of your Home Server.

Make sure that the latest version (Ver. 6.1) of the VAIO Media software or the VAIO Media plus software are not installed on your personal computer before starting installation.

You can install the VAIO Media software on any personal computer besides VAIO computers if it meets the hardware and Operating System requirements. For further information, refer to the User Guide and see “Software and Hardware Requirements.”
