Note to self:
Update the Windows Home Server ASAP. Read this on Ars Technica.
From Ars Technica:
The WHS team reproduced the problem (KB950190) and has now released a fix in the form of a 545KB download. This update should not be confused with the more serious WHS file corruption bug fix slated for release next month.

One little preferences you might want to set in case of “Log and Transfer” problem:
“Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames”
Check it if there’s something wrong with the import (with this option unchecked).
or
Uncheck it if there’s something wrong with the import (with this option checked).
This option might make a difference when importing from Digital HD Camcorder such as Panasonic HDC-SD9.

Of course, there has been some murmur in Microsoft camp. According to Knowledge Base #946676, data corruption may occur, and Microsoft is taking their sweet time. They expect to release the bug-fix sometimes in June 2008.
I am now backing up the content of the Windows Home Server to another “server” in that office.
Windows Home Server still needs a lot of work.
