Add a network folder (NAS) to receive backups

[welltecnologia]

Hello my colleagues.
I have an ASUSTOR NAS with 1 16TB disk.
I wanted to use it to receive the backups made by PBS.

But I don't know how to add this folder on my NAS to PBS.

Can you help me ?

Keep in mind that PBS is made for backups to local SSD. Not HDDs over the network. GC tasks will be very slow and can be problematic with bigger (several TBs) datastores.

You will have to create a NFS or SMB share on that NAS, then use the CLI to edit your fstab. Let the fstab mount that NFS/SMB share and point your datastore to that mountpoint. You can search this forum for a lot of examples. It will work, but most people run into permission/lock problems because of wrong NFS/SMB configurations.

Yes, I thought about it.

But I don't know how to mount it in fstab.
