Backing up and restoring mappings
The user name-mapping server has the capability to save and retrieve mappings from files.
This capability is useful for backing up mapping settings prior to making changes and for
exporting the mapping file from one server to others, using the same mapping information.
The user name-mapping server can save existing mappings to a file or load them from a file
and populate the mapping server. This feature is found in the Map Maintenance tab of the
User Name Mapping screen, as shown in
Figure 71
.
Use Remote Desktop to access the NAS Management Console, click File Sharing,
Microsoft Services for Network File System. Click User Name Mapping, then Map
Maintenance.
