What's the difference between the desktop models and the 1U rackmount ones? Besides nearly double the cost?
Well, one fits in a rack and one doesn't

I bet the ReadyNAS will also let me write to it directly from two different VMs too, saving the go through I currently deal with by having two different backup mechanisms. - don't ask
Um, yes. NFS is inherently able to talk to lots of systems. That's built into the protocol.
If you use it as a SAN, it can have many LUNs, each connected to different hosts. So options there too.

If you look, generally the rack units have much bigger processors and memory. The desktop units typically have Intel Atoms or small ARM processors. The rack ones typically have Xeons.

I don't believe I need to use it as a SAN. NFS, I'll have to see if Windows 2008R2 supports that, I'm pretty sure 2012 does.

NFS has been supported in Windows since NT4 at least and I believe before that. But Windows never does it well. You would want your backup software to talk NFS, not Windows. If Windows is going to talk to a NAS directly, make it SMB.

hmmm.. I'm not sure Appassure can talk directly to the storage medium.. I'd have to look into that.
