• Direct Attached Storage (DAS) connected to the backup repository server, including
external USB/eSATA drives and raw device mapping (RDM) volumes.

fabric via hardware HBA or software iSCSI initiator, and the corresponding volumes must
be seen in the Microsoft Windows Disk Management snap-in.

operation), or NFS share (must be mounted on a Linux backup repository server).
