Hi there
When you start the Windows Live OneCare Backup program, the backup program detects whether the automatic backup feature in Windows Vista or in Windows Home Server is turned on. If you run the Windows Live OneCare Backup program and the automatic backup feature in Windows Vista or in Windows Home Server at the same time, the performance of the computer may be reduced. We recommend that you use only one of these backup programs.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have a computer on the network that is running Windows Home Server, we recommend that you turn off the Windows Live OneCare Backup program. We recommend that you use the backup feature in Windows Home Server instead. For computers that are not part of the Windows Home Server network, you can leave the Windows Live OneCare Backup program turned on. If you do not have a suitable backup device, you may want to turn off the Windows Live OneCare Backup program.
