Off-the-Shelf Backup Solutions for the SnapServer • Location of the SnapServer backup and restore path - Backup servers often request the path for backup and restore operations on the SnapServer. When you configure a backup server to see the agent or client running on the SnapServer, use the following path: /shares/sharename where sharename is the name of the share to be backed up. If you have accepted the default SnapServer configuration, the correct path is as follows: /shares/SHARE1 • Backup user account is configured to be exempt from password policies (if applicable) - If the backup application uses a specific local Snap user account to perform backups, ensure that the user is exempt from password expiration policies, if enabled (see the Online Help for procedures to set password policy for local users). Preinstallation Tasks Perform the following tasks prior to installing any solution: 1 Identify backup and media servers to the SnapServer. In the Administration Tool, navigate to the Maintenance > Host File Editor screen and click Add. In the screen that opens, enter the IP address of the backup or media server; or enter one or both of the following as required by your backup software: • Host name (long form) Enter the fully qualified address for the backup server using the myserver.mydomain.com format. • Host name (short form) Enter an abbreviated address for the backup server using the myserver format. Click OK. The entry appears on the Host Editor screen. Repeat this procedure for each backup and media server you plan to use. 2 Make sure SSH is Enabled on the SnapServer. Navigate to the Server > SSH screen, make sure the Enable SSH box is checked, and then click OK. SSH is immediately available. Caution To maintain security, consider disabling SSH when not in use. 3 On a client computer connected to the SnapServer, create a directory called agent. You must create a directory to which you will copy the agent files. Create this directory on a client computer connected to the SnapServer. For purposes of illustration, the procedures described here assume that this directory is called agent. 152 SnapServer Administrator Guide
