Backup-to-Disk on NFS Shares

[r11563]

Hello

I'm currently running Backup Exec on Windows 2008 R2 domain controller. How can I create a backup-to-disk folder on a remote NFS share (hosted by a NAS device) ?

Thanks.

Hi,

According permissions are well configured on the NAS, you can use a network share as BE backups repository. Follow this to configure:

Configure storage Wizzard > select Disk Storage (should be the upper one in the list) (next) > select Disk Storage (next) > give a name (next) > select Network share and enter the share like this \\IP_address(orFQDN)\Share_name (example: \\10.7.2.27\rhevnfs)

Because you NAS device is serving up NFS, you only need to make sure you can access it from Windows.  Which in many cases means adding in the addtional software for Windows I think called "Client for NFS."  Usually found in the Add/Remove Programs.

From there, it's just the typical UNC path access for your Backup 2 Disk setup.

Why not just enable CIFS on your NAS?  It's easier and cleaner.  And for most any NAS, running 2, 3, or even 4 protocols is no problem.  The problem with NFS is sometimes the ACL's.
