Windows Server 2012 supports both Network Attached Storage devices and Storage Area Networks to provide Gigabit per second or higher data transfer rates using Fibre Channel or iSCSI technologies. Server backup procedures provide another degree of fault tolerance to protect against the loss of storage devices such as hard disks on servers and often a there is a need to recover failed servers using backed up data.
