I am working on a class project for unified communications. My task is to backup all servers on open source NAS (FreeNAS). I was using rsync tools (rsync over ssh) to backup Windows Server to FreeNAS using cygwin and I was able to push from the Windows Server. But now I found my task is also to backup the servers in such a way that if there was a disaster, the server team should be able to boot from the NAS, so I am using iSCSI.
My question is should I backup using rsync over ssh or directly backup the windows servers to remote folder using cifs share?
