Advise Needed on Dell PowerVault NX3000

Hi There,

I would like some advise on Dell PowerVault NX3000. The NX3000 comes with Windows 2008 Storage OS .I don't have much experience in storage technologies.

I would like to know if it's a good idea for me to install the iscsi adapter on the NX3000 in order for me to perform the back up to my powefault backup tape?

Also is there special configuration needed for me to get my NAS up and running ?

I was told to avoid installing the iSCSI adapters on the unit by a dell technician and to backup over the network as it will waste of memory resource? I’ve never heard that before. I’ll play around with it in a lab environment before I roll it out life.
