A.2

Creating a storage unit for NFS

For NFS backup using Symantec NetBackup, you need to create a target folder as the NFS share directory. This

is the location to which backup objects will be written. (This is not required while adding a CIFS share.)

Mount the DR Series system NFS share onto the NFS share directory to which backup objects will be

written in the Symantec NetBackup environment.

Verify the NFS share. One way is to use the Linux command “cat /proc/mounts”. The rsize and wsize of

the connects in the command output should be 512K.
