Use Nonstop backup on a network drive?
Hi, I have a question (actually two). My network router has a USB port where I can plug in a hard drive that will then be available to the PCs on the network. Through some magic it even looks like it was plugged in locally. So now I'm thinking (and I haven't bought TI 2011 yet, so I can't check):
1. Can I start Nonstop Backup with a locally plugged in hard disk to do the initial full backup there, and then switch it over to the router and have TI continue the tiny non-stop backups over the network?
2. Can I then use the same hard drive for more than one PC to centrally backup all my PCs there?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
I am trying to do exactly what is mentioned here: Using nonstop backup to a network drive (NAS in local Gigabit LAN). I have no problem doing the traditional backup to the NAS but in no way nonstop backup can be used because the NAS isn't shown as backup place.
More confusing is a contrary answer in http://forum.acronis.com/forum/4219 where Alexander tells it is NOT possible to use nonstop backup on networked drives.
Of course backup storage should be usable for any kind of backup and I am really disappointed about not being able to use nonstop backup (my main reason to upgrade to TI 2010 :-(...).
Regards
Peter

Nonstop backup to a NAS was the reason I upgraded - having had terrible problems with the previous version. I don't understand the fix that Dmitry offered, can that be explained more fully please because I am not offered any network drives as a target.
There seem to be a lot of complaints in the forums about NSB speed problems, will Acronis be releasing an upgrade that fixes NSB in the near future?
Thanks.

Am I to understand that I have to buy the Plus Pack to get NAS backups to work?
Thanks
