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. Select SMB or NFS as Protocol.
  4. Based on the Protocol selection, perform one of the below two steps:
    1.  If you select SMB, perform the following steps:
      1. Enter the UNC Path in the format \\Hostname\share
      2. If the UNC path is valid, a right arrow and the Browse option become visible.
      3. Click the right arrow (>) to validate the UNC Path.
      4. The Connect dialog appears.
      5. Enter Username and password, and click OK.
      6. The Add Nodes to Arcserve UDP Console dialog displays the verified UNC Path.
    2.  If you select NFS, perform the following steps:
      1. Enter the NFS Path in the format \\Hostname\share.
      2. Select Encoding from the available options - ANSI, GB2312-80, KSC5601, BIG5, SHIFT-JIS, EUC-KR, EUC-TW, EUC-JP.
      3. The default value is ANSI.
      4. Note: During the backup of an NFS Shared Folder, all such files/folders whose name has an unsupported language encoding are either skipped or their name appears as junk.
  5. Click Save.
  6. The UNC/NFS Path is added to the Source tab.
  7. You can update or delete the UNC/NFS Path node.
