Adding a repository

vRanger uses repositories to store backup archives. vRanger supports the following options for repository connections.

* 
NOTE: Any storage device or appliance that supports CIFS or NFSv3 is expected to be compatible with vRanger.

Windows Share (CIFS)

•
NFS (version 3)
•
NetVault SmartDisk (NVSD): The Quest disk-based data-deduplication option which reduces storage costs with byte-level, variable-block-based software deduplication. For more information on NetVault SmartDisk, see http://quest.com/products/netvault-smartdisk/ or the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for Quest NetVault SmartDisk.
•
EMC Data Domain Boost (DDB): Integrating EMC Data Domain Boost (DD Boost) with vRanger is achieved by adding a Data Domain appliance running DD Boost to vRanger as a repository. Backups written to that repository are deduplicated according to your configuration. For more information on DD Boost, see http://www.emc.com/data-protection/data-domain/data-domain-boost.htm or the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for EMC Data Domain Boost (DD Boost).
•
Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA): Provided by the Quest DR Series appliances — purpose-built, disk backup appliances that use Quest deduplication technology to improve backup and recovery processes. For more information on Quest DR Series appliances, see http://quest.com/products/dr-series-disk-backup-appliances/ or the Quest vRanger Integration Guide for Quest DR Series Disk Backup Appliance.
 
* 
NOTE: Quest RDA and EMC DD Boost repositories support repository replication. For more information, see Managing repository replication.

The following procedure shows mounting a CIFS share to the My Repositories pane. The procedures for the other repository types are described in Supplemental instructions: additional repository types

To add a repository:
1
Under Repositories, select Windows Share (CIFS).
2
Populate the Repository Name field.
This value appears in the My Repositories pane.
3
Populate the Description field.
4
Enter a username and password in the appropriate fields.
5
Select a Security Protocol from the drop-down list: NTLM (Default), or NTLM v2
6
In the Server field, type the UNC path to the preferred repository directory.
Alternatively, enter a partial path, and click Browse to find the target directory.
 
* 
NOTE: You must enter a valid username and password before using the browse functionality.
 
* 
CAUTION: If you use the Encrypt all backups to this repository feature, make certain to retain the password you enter. There is no back-door or administrator-level password. If the password is unknown, the backups are not usable.
7
If you want these backups password-protected, select Encrypt all backups to this repository, enter a Password for the encrypted repository, and then confirm the password by re-entering it.
 
* 
NOTE: Encryption is not supported for NetVault SmartDisk and DD Boost repositories.
8
Enter a Password for the encrypted repository, and confirm the password by re-entering it.
9
Click Save.
The connection to the repository is tested and the repository is added to the My Repositories pane and the Repository Information dialog box.
vRanger checks the configured repository location for existing manifest data to identify existing savepoints.
10
If vRanger finds existing savepoints, click the applicable button:
•
Import as Read-Only: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, but only for restores, click this button. You cannot back up data to this repository.
•
Import: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, click this button. vRanger is able to use the repository for backups and restores. vRanger requires read and write access to the directory.
•
Overwrite: To retain the savepoint data on the disk and not import it into vRanger, click this button. vRanger ignores the existence of the existing savepoint data and treats the repository as new.
11
Click Next.

Setting up the SMTP server
