FMA archive configuration for a CIFS-based NAS device

For archiving data to a CIFS-based NAS device, the archive folder on the NAS device needs to be shared on the network. FMA only supports NTFS file systems on CIFS archives.

After sharing the appropriate folder on the NAS device, the NTFS permissions on the folder must be set to FULL Control for the FMA technical user account (see Creating a technical user account on page 5) or the corresponding group.

The absolute path to the archive location can be configured in FMA’s RSA-CIFS dialog. Example:

If the share archives has been created on the NAS device NAS_DEVICE, subsequent archives can be set up through FMA RSA-CIFS configuration:

\\NAS_DEVICE\archives\users

\\NAS_DEVICE\archives\projects
