Multiple Remote Storage Interactions

A Remote Storage installation is limited to a single system running Windows 2000 Server in terms of hosting, Disk Management, and Remote Storage. There is no limit, however, to the number of stand-alone Remote Storage instances that can run on a homogeneous Windows 2000 network.

Moving Data Between Instances of Remote Storage to Another Remote Storage

To move managed data from one Remote Storage installation to another, the administrator recalls managed data and moves the data to another volume managed by Remote Storage that manages the data.

Recalling Across Remote Storage Instances

Remote Storage does not support recalling placeholders from a volume which has been managed at different times by two different Remote Storage instances.

Version Compatibility

Remote Storage does not provide an upgrade path for those running third-party remote storage products. Remote Storage provides a subset of features provided in previous remote storage products and is therefore not sufficient for upgrading the system. For example, an existing system with more than one device cannot upgrade to Remote Storage.
