Network folders
To back up data to a network folder, expand the Network folders group, select the
required networked machine, and then click the shared folder.
If the network share requires access credentials, the program will ask for them.
Note: To specify a Common Internet File System (CIFS) network share which is mounted on
a mount point such as /mnt/share, select this mount point instead of the network share
itself.
FTP, SFTP
To back up data to FTP or SFTP, type the server name or address in the Path field as
follows:
ftp://ftp_server:port _number or sftp://sftp_server:port number
To establish an active mode FTP connection, use the following notation:
aftp://ftp_server:port _number
If the port number is not specified, port 21 is used for FTP and port 22 is used for SFTP.
After entering access credentials, the folders on the server become available. Click the
appropriate folder on the server.
You can access the server as an anonymous user if the server enables such access. To do
so, click Use anonymous access instead of entering credentials.
Note: According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP
servers are transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and
password can be intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
NFS drives
To back up data to an NFS share, expand the NFS drives group and click the folder.
4.2.5 Access credentials for archive location
Specify credentials required for access to the location where the backup archive will be stored. The
user whose name is specified will be considered as the archive owner.
To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:

Use the plan's credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials of the backup plan account
specified in the Plan parameters section.

Use the following credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials you specify.
Use this option if the plan account does not have access permissions to the location. You
might need to provide special credentials for a network share or a storage node vault.
Specify:

User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).

Password. The password for the account.

Confirm password. Re-enter the password.
2. Click OK.
