Also, many NAS devices have an NFS server as well. Since many distros come with autofs and auto-mounting of NFS shares pre-configured, the mounting step is not needed and all that need be done is to include the correct path in the job. For example, in Centos it would be something like '/net/nas_ip_address/share_name'. Autofs can be configured for CIFS as well, but usually isn't by default. Otherwise, RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob scripts can do the mounting and unmounting. > John > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
