[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 155346, member: 201"] I can't say exactly... I don't use a NAS for any of my backup storage that I perform and even if I did.... the specifics and combinations of them are boggling... Combine... the system being imaged and what OS it has, along with the OS found on the NAS, along with the software being used to perform the image... not to mention the hardware found in the systems may have an affect... and you've got a lot of variations that any one or combination of several could mess up the whole situation. I keep my backups simple... I do a disk image backup ( not a system one even if it contains the boot drive ), I back to a secondary drive in my main computer usually and then transfer that image to a larger external drive later as time permits. When dealing with my clients drives, I typically attach their drive to my main computer that I used for backing up since it's faster than attaching a USB drive to the clients system. Of course, many times an image backup is more than is needed... what I typically need are access to the user files which will go onto another new computer. Usually in these cases I just attach their old drive to the new system to do the file copy with. If their new system also has room for the old drive ( and my builds they usually do )...
