Re: Automtic snapshots

Made a few changes to the files and wandered off and then came back later and voila, a snapshot. Does it only create a snapshot if a write has been carried out? Exactly, no changes no new snapshot. Also, how do you edit the snapshot period and number of sessions to keep later? Can't see where to ed...

Re: iSCSI off-load

What is iSCSI off-load (as supported by Broadcom NIC options in PowerEdge R515), is it supported by StarWind and does it need a compatible card at the other end to offer any performance benefits? Thanks, Rob. Please follow this link to read more about iSCSI off-load: http://www.dell.com/downloads/g...

Regards, Rob.
Yes, it will be more than you need. For the primary targets you can allocate 2GB/target, for other targets 512MB will be enough.
