If I read it correctly, the server can fail but because the data is stored via iSCSI, it will not actually be lost (unless it is the appliance itself that fails

- cperciva 15y agoSure. But if we're ignoring the case where the appliance doesn't fail it's no better than a drobo.
- tiernano 15y agothe storage for the appliance can be outside the appliance (DAS or SAN storage). the appliance can die, but you just plug in a new appliance and point at the storage, and your back... as for the drobo comment, this should be faster than a drobo... and even ignoring the appliance fail, the off site backup is key.
