Let me first say that I have never used freenas before
Now I just configured my freenas system and it is pretty ghetto I'm using an acer aspire one netbook with a 500gb external hard drive and the 144gb internal hard drive. The way I'm booting my nas is by a 14GB usb stick that i formatted with 7zip and win32 diskimager. This was just a bunch of spare hard ware that I had laying around and I wasent using this for anything else. Anyways to my main point i wanted to use this to back up my windows 7 OS. I was using the 144gb hard drive to do so. I figured that would be large enuf because the disk that has my OS on it is only about 66 gb full. The strange thing is when I tell windows to backup the OS on the hard drive it comes back with disk dosne't have enuf storage but when I look at how much storage was used it only shows 14.04 gb used out of 144gb. The only thing I can think of is that maybe somehow windows is reading my usb flash drive as the storage but I have no idea how to fix this.
