This document examines several alternatives for protecting NAS resources on the LAN or SAN and explores the alternative of evolving the NAS hardware into a storage appliance - that is, utilizing the capacity of the NAS appliance in conjunction with VERITAS Backup Exec and a tape device to protect itself and remote resources on the network. The solutions presented demonstrate, in varying degrees, the benefits of maximizing the use of the NAS appliance's capacity and the speed for both backup and recovery which results an increased in centralized storage management and reduced media costs. The overall benefit is a greater return on the storage solution while minimizing storage costs.
