In the NFS Server (hostname or IP) field, enter the hostname or IP address of the NFS server that is
exporting the share.

In the Share on NFS Server (directory) field, enter the directory path of the share on the NFS server.

The NFS Version 4 Share option allows you to indicate whether the NFS share that is to be mounted is a
NFS v4 share. This is necessary because depending on the operating system type, special handling may
be required for NFS v4.

In the Local Mount Point (directory) field, enter the directory to be used for storing local system backups.
This directory will become the mount point for the NFS share.

In the Mount Options (-o opt1,opt2…) field, enter any options to the mount command required to mount
the NFS share. The options should be comma separated. You should not include the “-o” in the options.

Using the directory specified here, a special device called “SBNFS” will be created.
This option will be made available as a backup or restore device in other options.

In the Maximum Volume Size field, enter the size (in MB) the maximum file size of the backup image that
may be created. Enter “0” for unlimited. See section

Maximum Volume Size

for more information.

When you have finished your selections, press the

Save

button at the bottom of the screen. The messages

indicating the progress of this configuration process will be displayed.

The configuration process will first check to see if the NFS share is currently mounted or currently defined on
the workstation. If it is already mounted, you will be prompted as to whether you wish to remount it. If it is
currently defined (found in /etc/fstab (Linux), /etc/filesystems (AIX), or /etc/vfstab (Solaris)), you will be
prompted as to whether you wish to have the entry edited.
