The backup-to-disk function creates bkf files (like ntbackup) of a size you can set (I've used 50 GB files when backing up a 200 gig server before). The biggest reason for doing something like this is to speed up backups of a large server, for instance that server I mentioned might take 12-15 hours to backup to tape, which would run into the nightly online maintenance window (not something you want to happen), but if you use the B2D device when doing the nightly exchange backups it can take a lot less time to complete. Since you're limited to a 16 gig store I don't really see a reason to do this. Why were you thinking of using ntbackup and copying it to the NAS?
