Hello all,
I have a question that I hope someone can give some help on. We are running Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 on a HP Proliant DL180 G6 server with 3 259GB HDD's in a raid 5 configuration. room for 5 more hot swappable drives. Also have an inhouse built storage server with 8 500GB drives no raid setup. The OS on the HP server can only backup to physically attached drives (ie external hard drives pulgged directly into the server) it will not allow back up to network drives. My question is this is there a way to attach the storage server to the HP sever to make it think they are attached physically to the server or would I be better off using the other 5 hot swappable bay on the server and swap out the drives daily? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
