"NAS" with integrated backup server
A little bit of knowledge..... etc etc
Gurus. I have a client who is insisting on a "NAS that runs Windows", but at the same time is "absolutely not a file server". Over and above, he wants to connect an SDLT-220 (no, not the 320 for the 200 bucks extra) and install "Veritas" to back up his data. (Yep.. its goverment). I think we've established that this is Backup Exec (+IDR) rather than Netbackup, however, I am still in a spin over how to satisfy this bizarre request. Anybody know whether I could turn any of the Windows 2000 based "NAS" labelled products from the HP, Dell etc al into a backup server? (If so, why the hell aren't they "file servers"?) Thanks in advance Matt |

Thanks in advance Matt How about installing Windows2000 on a standard machine as requested, install remote desktop management. Make sure ACPI is on so it shuts down properly when pressing the power button. Remove the monitor, keyboard and mouse? Make a nice fat sticker "Nas2000" and you're all set ;-) Rob |
