Backing up iSCSI targets

One thing you will more than likly need to day when implementing a SAN is backup the content of the iSCSI targets. If you implement something like backup exec on windows, then windows will try and Automount the volumes which will then cause you no end of problems.

To prevent this, before connecting to the iSCSI targets, run the following from the command prompt to prevent this:

diskpart

automount disable

automount scrub
