NFS Repository on old cheap NAS

[omfk]

Hi,

we have an old and cheap NAS (DNS-323 from DLink). This device worked fine in the past, but only with smbv1. This protocol is no longer supported with newer OS and therefore I installed the NFS addon on this device. I can mount the NAS via NFS on a linux server.

When I try to add the NAS via NFS as repository (192.168.20.169:/mnt/hd_a2) I get the error message: "NFS server is unavailable, or the specified share cannot be accessed".

Is there a way to use this old NAS with v10? This repository will not be used for critical data!

Hello Frank,

In case NFS is mounted to a Linux machine you need to add that Linux machine to Managed Servers in Veeam B&R first and then register it as a Linux repository. If you want to add NAS as NFS repository please follow the procedure described here. Cheers!

Hi Dmitry,

I've tried to add the NAS as NFS repository as in the link provided but that failed with the above mentioned error. Any possibility to debug?

The approach to go via a intermediate Linux server worked.

Hi Frank, I'd check the requirements and limitations and contact technical support if nothing pops off.
