I dont know if i have this in the right place but we are going to get an external storage device and have a couple of options. first the scsi attached deviced such as the power vault from DEll and then the SAN/NAS. My question is on the SAN/NAS they seem to be stand along appliances with their own operating system, that users access throught the network, but how do i give permissions, does the san/nas attachees to my domain controllers? Im not to familiar with these devices. And what about the SCSI atthached devices that connect to the server, will the server be impacted enough to get the san/nas. (The server is a domain controller that is being used as a files server only)<br />

SAN external Storage

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
