This gives a single server additional PCIe ports that can be filled with a USB card. Unfortunately, short of using a network-attached USB hub, there’s no way to manually add additional USB ports to the entire chassis.

It has Windows Server 2008.

My main concern is creating backup for the server in shorter period. Please help, thanks a lot…

I am actually planning to backup the server but im using an external drive with usb connection but it takes 3-4 days to backup the whole system. One reason (i think) is because the server’s usb port is only using 1.0 usb port.

Any other option to backup the whole system faster? Thanks a lot for the help :-)
