How does that work? So you run VMware on top of whatever machine/system you're using at the house, and then just load the virtual hard drives from your NAS?

Well I do have a large NAS, a ProxMox server (with all the production VMs inside that need to be backed up..), and several other systems around the house... Home Assistant, an iMac, etc etc... my PBS backup server backs all of those up; including the NAS. 

However, I do want to get a better NAS setup. While I'll probably build my own, Synology machines really look nice.
