Backup to external NAS

[StefanMosleitner]

Hi!

Is ist possible (Model: Data Storage Server Version: 1.30.DB00000000.2819) to create a backup-device with a destination share at an external NAS?
For Data Replication it is possible to us an external NAS (allocated over IP-Address), is this possible for backup-devices too?

Thanks a lot!
Stefan

We have a backup program built in so you can use another DSS (as a Destination server) to backup the shares via to another share, dynamic unit or Tape. Also we have backup agents (Backup Exec, Dantz - Retroclient and CA - BrightStor are supported.) built in our software to allow your backup server to back up the shares as well. To backup to an outside IP address on a tape device we dont support this. If you want to use Rsync to another system that has Rsync then this will work.

This is the DSS section of the forum. For future please post all related NAS-R3 Enterprise subjects in the proper section of the forum.

If you are asking if the NAS-R3 Enterprise will work with another rsync server then yes. Try the following:

rsync command used to synchronize from your operating system to NAS-R3 Enterprise server can look similar to this:

cd $SOURCE_DIR
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
rsync -raRx --acls --xattrs --whole-file --delete --force "./"
"$LOGIN@$RSYNC_DEST_IP::$DEST_SHARE"

rsync command used to synchronize from NAS-R3 Enterprise to your operating system (executed on your operating system) can look similar to this:

cd $DEST_DIR
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
rsync -raRx --acls --xattrs --whole-file --delete --force "$LOGIN@$RSYNC_SOURCE_IP::$SOURCE_SHARE" "./"

While using rsync without password please unset RSYNC_PASSWORD variable.
For more information about switches in rsync command please refer to your rsync manual.
