Storage to NAS Device by Oracle 11g Enterprise on Windows
Running Enterprise 11g on Windows 2003 R2 x64 (Dell Poweredge AMD). I also have 2 Dell Storage servers running Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 (NAS devices - gigabit over copper) as well. In Oracle 10, I was able to easily store index tablespaces, mirror control files, a multiplexed set of archive logs, and scheduled weekly backups were stored there (I usually used path names like \\Servername\Share).
