Use Acronis Backup with QNAP TS-863U-RP 2U NAS ???
We are a small organization with only a hand full of Windows servers (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). We currently use Acronis Backup and Recovery on our servers to regularly back them up manually to an external hdd. We are at the point where we want to automate and improve this process by adding a rack mountable NAS.
We are looking at a QNAP TS-863U-RP 2U 8-Bay NAS, iSCSI/ IP-SAN, AMD Quad Core, 4GB, 2 x 1GbE, 1 x 10GbE (SFP+), DUAL PSU. My question is, are these QNAP devices fully supported by Acronis? I have read mixed reviews in different places about getting Acronis and QNAP work together. Are there any instructions on how to successfully set up Acronis and a QNAP NAS? If anyone could point me to a “how to” or a blog that highlights this topic, I would greatly appreciate it! If there is a better QNAP NAS out there for the purpose I described, please let me know which model and why it is better.
All feedback is welcome!
Thank you everyone in advance for your help!

Hello Ekaterina,
Thank you for your reponse and the suggestions. I will definitely take a look at WD and Synology - reliablility is very important to us.

Sure, I'll try to find statistics on different NAS models used by our customers. If this information is available, I'll share the most popular models with you.
