56 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System as a Backup Target on ASG-TimeNavigator | April 2015
C Creating a storage device for NFS
For NFS backup using the ASG-Time Navigator, a target folder needs to be created as an NFS share
directory. This is the location to which backup objects will be written. This is not required while adding
CIFS share.
1. Mount the DR Series System NFS share onto the NFS share directory to which backup objects will
be written in the ASG-TimeNavigator environment. For example:
mount –t nfs <ip address of DRXXXX>:/containers/sample
/mnt/TiNA_targetContainer
2. Verify the NFS share. One way is to use the Linux command “cat /proc/mounts”. The rsize and
wsize of the NFS share in the command output should be 512K.
