Restoring to a NAS
We are looking into replacing our Windows 2003 file server with a SUN 5320 NAS. One of my concerns is how am I going to get the data from our file server to this NAS. From what I am reading and testing, I can not restore from my Windows 2003 server backups to the NAS, because the NAS is NDMP and does not have a client on it. This also makes me concerned about disaster recovery issues. If I backup this NAS with NDMP, then I can only restore it to another NAS with NDMP. Does anyone know a way around these restore issues, or is this just the way it is? The disaster recovery issues I can get around by adding a NAS to our hotsite, but I am really concerned about how to get over 1Tb of data from my file server to the NAS with the permissions in place.
