I have a seagate NAS which I access over a shared folder. I also have 3 computers with a shared folder. I want to backup files from the 3 computers to the seagate NAS. I cannot run those tasks with the seagate NAS itself so I want to do it from a 3rd Windows Server I have running. If I tell my Windows server to copy the files from the 3 computers to the NAS (With robocopy) will it be slower, because it copies from "shared folder on computer 1,2,3" -> Windows Server -> NAS or does it copy it directly? I hope my question is clear enough for someone to answer...
3It will use the server as the intermediary and flow the copy through it, yes. But not keep a copy. – TheCleaner – 2014-01-24T14:42:10.160
