If I use iSCSI, if I have my host go down, and I have to configure a stand alone box with Veeam, will I have to configure that box (Windows 7 probably) to use iSCSI to see the NAS and the backups?At one customer we used nfs/cifs share for the veeam backup target. I just don't want another box laying around, just never enough room. I think my plan there is to have the Veeam installation software and license codes copied onto one of my Windows 7 boxes in the office. I submitted a post on this exact subject a few days ago. If veeam sits on a failed esxi box its a bit more complicated to get that first system up. In a disaster situation you can do an instant restore to get the important clinets up and running quickly as long you have one operational esxi server. I'm still a fan of installing veeam on a dedicated physical machine. Also don't forget to have Veeam backup its configuration to the nas too (just in case). With the WD RE4 drives we were getting in the 70MB/s range. I think the throughput was in the area 40MB/s. At one install we used WD Red drives in the NAS. Having fast disks in the nas will help with backup times. You could use smb, nfs will give you a slightly faster backup but not much. We will typically setup the connection between veeam and synology nas using a nfs share.
