NAS to NAS backup is often out of the box PC & lappy usually require bootable media to recover OS Then again.are you backing up data on your PCs & MACs or the server or the NAS ? each have its own backup strategy as may have different recovery options & scenario. Then if cost is a factor.Veeam Agent for Windows is free or there is a Veeam Backup & replication for VMware or Hyper-v Community edition which is also free. You will need to look at backup from recovery scenario.īut how are you going to connect to the iSCSI or the host to the iSCSI without OS ? One reason why image restores usually use UNC or USB as repository using recovery media from bootable USB or bootable disc or Network boot etc. However, it will incur additional costs in the long run. to use third-party tools, I will then need to move out from Backblaze personal (because of its unlimited cloud storage) and subscribe to Backblaze B2 (it's just like AWS). Nas.The software client cant backup shared drives because of Backblaze restriction. I was just asking if If it's possible to setup such way ?īt-arasu wrote:Just one location. So if the windows crash, it won't affect my Nas. The data still resides in Nas right ? My NAS is the iscsi target and windows is the iscsi initiator. I just want to mount the drive as iscsi in windows and backup that up. It's their proprietary backup client that backup to their dc. Then why not use Veeam Agent for Widows free ?" If the machine crash, cannot restore unless re-install OS to see iSCSI ? very weird.

"It is weird that you cannot backup to a UNC or shared drive but only to local drive ? That means the backup software is useless.
