Add UNC/NFS Path

You can add a UNC/NFS path only when you create a UNC/NFS Path backup plan. While creating the plan, from the Source tab you can add a UNC/NFS Path node.

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Source tab of the UNC Path backup plan, click the Add UNC or NFS Path option.
  2. The Add Nodes to Arcserve UDP Console dialog appears.
  3. On the Add a UNC or NFS Path page, perform the following steps:
    1. Select SMB or NFS as a protocol.
      • If you select SMB, do the following:
        1. Enter the UNC Path in the following format:
        2. \\Hostname\share
        3. Notes:
          • While providing Nutanix File share as a source for backup with Nutanix files as a snapshot provider, backups can be performed only at share level but not at sub-folder level.
          • To get the UNC path, do the following:
            1. Select the newly created share in the center pane.
            2. Under the SHARE/EXPORT DETAILS column, from the Summary pane, navigate to Mount Path and then copy the mount path.
            3. If the UNC path is valid, a right arrow and the Browse option gets enabled.
        4. Click the right arrow (>) to validate the UNC Path.
        5. The Connect dialog appears.
        6. Enter the username and password as needed, and then click OK.
        8. The Add Nodes to Arcserve UDP Console dialog displays the verified UNC Path.
      • If you select NFS, do the following:
        1. Enter the UNC Path in the following format:
        2. \\Hostname\share
        3. Select Encoding from the available options - ANSI, GB2312-80, KSC5601, BIG5, SHIFT-JIS, EUC-KR, EUC-TW, EUC-JP.
        4. The default value is ANSI.
        5. Note: During the backup of an NFS Shared Folder, all such files/folders whose name has an unsupported language encoding are skipped or their name appears as junk.
    2. From the Snapshot Provider drop-down list, select Nutanix Files.
    3. For the Specify Nutanix Files REST Details box, specify the following credentials:
    4. Username
    5. Refers to the user name created by the REST API user using the Nutanix prism.
    6. Note: For a more secure communication, select the HTTPS protocol.
    7. Password
    8. Refers to password for the username.
    9. Protocol
    10. Specifies the protocol that you want to use to communicate with the destination server. The available options are HTTP and HTTPS.
    11. Port
    12. Refers to the port number. The default port value is 9440 to access the REST API calls and Prism.
  5. Click Save.
  6. You can update or delete the UNC/NFS Path node.
