Feature Request [V12] - multi-tennant support NAS Backup

Post by tom.schmidt »

It is not uncommon to use enterprise class NAS (in our case NetApp FAS) as primary storage for multiple AD-Domains. The way NAS backup is inplemented only allows a single AD-Account for authentication because credentials a set on NAS level, not per job.
Credentials for access to the share should be set per job not per NAS-System.

Hello,
what do you think about adding the shares directly (instead of the whole NAS)? Then you can set the credentials "per share" and it would be available already today.

Best regards,
Hannes

@Hannes:
I don't think storage snapshot integration will work with this, or am i wrong?

it depends... at least it's different, yes.

As you asked for "domains", I assume that it's about SMB only. For SMB one can use scripts to create snapshots or use the snapshot folder as source or use remote VSS

For NFS, the remote VSS option does not exist.
