Hi,

Yes you can have a catalog created at NAS drive and also have it's corresponding media also kept at NAS.

For this, you would need to have your NAS drive mapped to your system. When you go to create New catalog, select Custom Location option and Browse to you NAS drive:

But a word of caution here: Keeping a catalog at NAS would come at the cost of performance. You might experience sluggishness in usage given the involvement of Network and this might increase as your catalog size increases.

Alternatively, you can keep an incremental backup of your catalog at NAS and restore it to different machines.

Thanks.
