The ISCSI option worked great! thank you so much for this information. I never used ISCSI and now know how it works with good research and your guidance.

So i recently bought a Syncology DS214 NAS Server. Now from what i can tell it only connects to your server via IP or online. My question is this? Can you get this system to work with Windows Server Backup? Every time i try to setup a scheduled backup it only looks for local drivess? Is there a way i can take the Nas Server and set it up as a logical drive? What i have done for now is setup another internal 1tb hard drive and assigned it as the L drive and it will work that way but I just hope i have not thrown my money away on this Syncology Nas Server? Please help and thank you.

Small Business Server 2008 and Syncology Nas Servers.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

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.
