The DroboPro has ethernet, but the protocol is iSCSI (block-level) as
opposed to a file-level protocol (CIFS/NFS)
So it's not a NAS, even though it is technically "network attached
storage"

The "DroboShare" is the product that will turn a Drobo into a NAS, but it
doesn't look like it works with the DroboPro.  (Only the older Drobo's)
The DroboShare doesn't advertise support for NDMP, but they do allow 3rd
party development, so there may be an app-for-that somewhere (but probably
not)

[ADSM-L] DROBOPRO Storage Device






Hi All,



    Does anyone have any experience with a NAS product by Data Robotics
Inc
called DroboPro?  If so, can you tell me if it can be backed up and
whether
it supports NDMP?  I know I could ask the vendor, but I tend to think that
most vendors will say their products can do anything so I am requesting an
independent assessment.  Thanks much!
