General information

A remote archive can only be represented as a file on one or several remote storages.

The following protocols of remote storages are supported:

• For Linux OS:
  • SMB2/SMB3.
  • NFSv3/NFSv4.
  • CIFS.
  • iSCSI.
• For Windows OS:
  • WinAPI access mechanism (current version for Windows 10 and 11).

The choice of protocol depends on the configuration, security policies, and capabilities of the NAS.

    title Attention!
    If you plan to connect several users from this computer to the remote archive, do the following: To the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file add the following string: "192.168.1.1 DNSname1", where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the remote storage, DNSname1 is the domain name of the remote storage. When creating a remote archive, use the specified domain name in the address. If you need to add several remote archives using different remote user accounts, do the following: To the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file add the IP addresses and domain names of all remote storages. When creating archives, use the specified domain names in the address. In a failover system with a backup Server (see Setting up a configuration with the backup Server), the hosts file on the backup Server must include records from all Servers, if domain names differ on each Server.

Enter the username and password (4). The user must have permissions to access the remote storage.
