We have been experimenting with various backup methods in our environment. We have a Hyper-V host that has our Veeam server as a VM on it. We have a Synology device directly plugged into the host and we want to setup a backup repository using iSCSI.
I believe we have 2 options:
1. Add iSCSI as a drive on the host and add that drive as a shared drive in Hyper-V manager to the VM.
2. Add additional NIC to Hyper-V VM and configure with 10.10.10.x address to talk to Synology and add via iSCSI initiator directly to the VM.
What is the best practice for setting this up?
