Good Morning Macrium Community,
I have just bought Macrium after great recommendations from a security forum, I also bought the additions package to get maximum functionality.
I am trying to back up an image to my Synology 1010+ Server(at last I have 4TB of storage and can store images!), the only problem is that I cannot find a way to back up to a remote location.
I have an ISCSI target, This seem to be the best way to manage the storage, and I have figured out how to use WEBDAV to transfer data, I am not interested in using the FTP.
I have a mounted drive on my PC mapped from the Synology server my PC mounts the mapped drive on boot using Diskpart on Windows XP.
I would prefer if the saved location was not accessable via a mapped drive letter on the PC, I cannot expand this formatted location.
I access my NAS server through a URL address over the internet.
I hope someone can help as I was hoping to use the macrium software solution and this server to back up other PC's to this remote location.

Hi Mike
Thanks for your post.
It's only possible to use your ISCSI drive as a backup target if you map a drive letter to it. What is the reason that you don't want to do this?
Kind Regards

Thank you Nick
I was really wanting to hide the backup of the main OS partition images from users in my family that seem to delete files that they are not supposed to.
Certain family members always seem to fiddle around, despite telling them to ask for assistance when they are stuck.
Creating backup images of the new install will ensure easy restore of an ill functioning OS, they seem to click what they are not supposed to despite anti virus and sandbox software!
One last thing, the Microsoft iSCSI initiator creates a drive letter and formats to the correct size, but I have to use DiskPart to mount the drive on XP which delays start-up and looks awkward on booting; I have to use a batch file to wait for a network connection then mount a certain drive. I have not tried this on Vista though.
One last limitation is that the mounted drive is not expandable after creation because of the formatting procedure.
I hope this helps
