You can set up a package store in NetVault Backup by providing the path and user credentials for the CIFS share.

Provide the UNC (uniform naming convention) path of the CIFS (Common Internet File System) share. The format for specifying the path for Windows-based server is: The format for specifying the path for Linux-based server is: NOTE: On the Windows-based server, if the server IP address is used to configure a local package store (for example, \\10.11.12.3\PkgStore), the user credentials are not validated when the package store is added or updated. If you specify invalid credentials, no errors are reported. However, the deployment task fails if the authentication fails and the packages cannot be retrieved from the store. Therefore, Quest recommends that you use the server name when configuring the path to a local store (for example, \\WinServer1\PkgStore). | |
