Backup file locations
For a backup by an 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.
