Dunno about your specific circumstances Michael, but here I have a NAS
device DS110J attached to the home network of multiple physical computers,
some with multiple OSs, I have no problems backing up the RO stuff to the
NAS and retrieving it, Filetypes intact, using LanMan98/2 with the correct
NoTypes setting.
(No archiving required to preserve RO types).
