Backup file locations
For a backup by FTP Server :
• A location of
<username>@ftp.server.com
puts the backup file
in the initial login directory.
• A location of
<username>@ftp.server.com/path/to/backups/
puts the backup file in the specified path on the server, using
<username>
to login.
For a backup by Anonymous FTP :
• For an anonymous FTP connection, the file must be put in a
directory where anonymous FTP users have write access. This is
generally the
/incoming/
directory.
• A location of
ftp.server.com/incoming
places the backup file
on ftp.server.com under the
/incoming/
directory.
• The “Password” field should contain the password for the specified
user or be left blank for anonymous logins.
For a backup by NFS Server :
• The location should be
<server>:/<share>
, where <server> is
the NFS server and <share> is the NFS volume to mount and write
to. You must have write privileges to this directory.
• The “Password” is ignored for NFS server backups.
For a backup by SMB Server (Windows File Sharing):
• The location should be
<user>@\\windowspc\<share>
. This
mounts the volume <share> on the Windows server, using <user>
as the login. The “Password” field must contain the password for
<user>.
• For volumes that do not require a user, the location should be
\\windowspc\share
.
For All Scheduled backups:
• Ensure the target location is available and has enough disk space to
hold the backup archive. Failure to do this may result in zero-length
or truncated archives.
