Jan,
I'd suggest you using other way to backup your server's data.
Install StarWind on your backup machine and create an ImageFile target to be used as the backup storage.
On the server side install the MS initiator or our StarPort, connect to the backup target, partition and format it and assign a persistent drive letter to it.
So your server will see an additional 'local' drive and save backup data to it. Or you could use some kind of batch files called by the Scheduler to backup your data on the server.
According to sharing a single disk target between 2 machines - this is not a good idea if you use the standard Windows filesystems (FAT32 or NTFS). The filesystems suppose they are the only user of an underlying partition, so they have no idea some other entity is changing the volume's data at the time they access or update it.
This definitely will lead to corruption of the drive's data.
I hope this helps.

Excuse my bad english...
I need to connect to the disk drives on one of my server. The server use this disk to store some application data and i need to backup these data from my storage node.
So the server has to see the drive as a normal disk drive and I have to connect to this drive from my storage node as a normal disk dive.
I've tried this but with no success.
SANMelody for example requires an unformatted, unpartitioned disk but then the server itself cannot use it anymore.
Hope, you understand what I want :)
Thanx
Regards,
