I do not see the HP 1440 listed on the BE 2014 HCL.  But the disk section doesn't require your disk to be listed to be supported.

Run the B2Dtest tool to confirm it will work, then configure your backup jobs to use it.

You might not want to backup to disk simultaneously as your backup to tape, but you can certainly do it seqnentially or do a duplicate job that copies the backup from disk to tape or vice versa.

Hi,

That NAS is capable of iSCSI...so carve out the iSCSI LUNs, configure the initiator on your BE media server, and present them to the media server. Then create your B2D folder and start your backups.

I did this using Iomega NAS arrays. Worked very well, and it got around a lot of authentication issues normally experienced when trying to access a NAS via CIFS or share.

We use the StoreEasy with iSCSI for another backup application with a couple of clients and they work really well.

Thanks!
