I use their products for replicating victuals etc but this might be of use.Įdited by JohnnyJammer, 31 March 2016 - 05:17 PM. I am stumped.ĭo you need just the files or the whole server? You might find the issue being that VHD files have to use 512 but i think if you used vmware vconveter would back up the physical to virtual, this way you could always fire up the server on any old machine with vmware on it, disable the nic and then pull some files off? Cheap effective way but not bullet proof or recommended in a work enviroment. There has to be an easy way to backup to a NAS using the SBS 2011/Server 2008 backup utilities.
Shadow protect using seagate nas storage windows#
When I use the Windows Server Backup utility, nothing but the physical drives attached to the server show up in the "Destination Drive" list. I have also tried creating a new network share. How do I backup to Seagate BlackArmor NAS device? I have tried to map a network drive (Z:\\Backups). When I run " fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo e:" from the command prompt I get the following information:

I am assuming that it is failing due to Bytes per second on the external drive. Secondly when I go to format the drive, the format fails. I understand that this is how the backup on SBS 2011 works and I am okay with that. I have not found a way to access the files on the drive after setting it as destination. As soon as I do this, the drive basically disappears. When running the backup wizard, I assign our external hard drive (Toshiba Canvio 5 TB) as the destination. I am having trouble getting the Backup Utility with SBS 2011 to work properly.

We are currently using approximately 3.2TB of available disk space. The NAS device has since failed and the new server running SBS 2011 has 7 - 2TB SATA drives giving us approximately 11.1TB of usable disk space. On the SBS 2003 server we were running ntbackup to a NAS storage device as one way of backing up our data (4TB total available disk space on server) successfully. I used to image (full) to my NAS drive and it took about 1 1/2 hours for 80GB image file. We recently migrated from SBS 2003 server to SBS 2011 server. I am currently using Seagate DiscWizzard on all my systems.
