Help Bareos Windows

[gomi_at]

Hello, 

I'm going slightly mad and find no solution...

Environment:

Bareos Windows 18.5.2 (Director, FD & SD only Windows!)

The Storage device should be a NAS (NFS)

I configured it as storage device in the SD. 

Device {

  Name = xxx

  Media Type = NAS

 Archive Device = 

  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bareos label unlabeled media

  Random Access = yes;

  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it

  RemovableMedia = yes;

  AlwaysOpen = no;

  Description = "File device. A connecting Director must have the same Name and MediaType."

}

The Probleme is Archive Device:

Archive Device = T:/test   --> Error (T = Network Drive) 

Archive Device = //Servername/xxx/xxx --> Error (can't find path) 

Archive Device = \\Servername\xxx\xxx --> Error  (can't find path)

Archive Device = C:/Test (symbolic link) --> Error  (must be a directory) 

What i am doing wrong? 

Can someone help me? 

thx

You try to access a network drive from the bareos-sd. This will not work
in windows.
Take a look at this post, it may shed some light on your issue:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/182750/map-a-network-drive-to-be-used-by-a-service

What type of NAS are you using?
If it does support iSCSI block storage I would suggest is to add an
iSCSI volume to your Windows server and then backup to that. This will
probably provide much better performance than a windows file share.

Best Regards,
Andreas
