I'm fairly sure but not 100% Maxtor sold their NAS off to someone.
It ran a Windows 2000 stk? A previous attempt by Microsoft to do Nas.

We managed to get one tested at Veritas(unoffically). They managed to
get a 4.5 windows client installed.
They said it was a hack and would never support it.
It did run though.

According to my Nas friends. You backup product needs to integrated at
build time. Or thru an update from the manufacture. Hence most are doing
NDMP with Windows 2003 Storage Server.

None of this is fact. Only my interpretation.

up Maxtor Maxattach


Andrew,
   The Maxtor website is curiously devoid of specific information about
the Maxattach line, but from a knowledgebase article, I gleaned the fact
that the device runs a version of Windows 2000.  Check the product
documentation for mention of compliance to any NDMP standards.  If this
is found, then you will want to back up the device as an NDMP device.

Good Luck
