I have Win Server 2019 installed in my R420 rack but need to start all the configurations. The options and possibilities from here are quite a bit to digest for a newb like me. Looking thru the forums here made my head spin as well. For a simple and basic home server setup, with the intent to archive family stuff, cloned drive backups, and such, what would the be the best recommended source of information on how to proceed? Things like sequence of operations, and basic settings to get operational, with the intent to scale up as time allows.

Learning how to do all this would be great and I intend to take some courses, but it all has to wait till I clear my plate of other priorities.
