I downloaded the offline installers for home and workstation and opened them with 7zip but I don't see any WinPE components per se, just a WaikFiles.cab that contains an executable. The downloads for the home and workstation versions are identical in size and there doesn't appear to be any difference in the contents based upon a cursory examination.
Thanks for the reply, but the whole deal is that i want to use the Home edition for scheduled incremental backups etc. Any more suggestions?
