To use storage such as SMB/CIFS to provide backups, do the following.
1. Add a set consisting of a unique connection name and a set of connection parameters of type smb_params to the storage_connects main config block.
Example for connecting to SMB storage on 192.168.0.1 server with share name `smb_share`, in the storage_connects block of nxs-backup.conf.
storage_connects:
- name: smb_test
smb_params:
host: 192.168.0.1
port: 445
user: smb_user
password: ENV:SMB_USER_PASSWORD
share: smb_share
connection_timeout: 102. Add backup storage options for the previously specified storage name to the storages_options block in the job parameters.
storages_options:
- storage_name: smb_test
backup_path: /databases/postgresql
retention:
days: 10
weeks: 0
months: 6`smb_params` reference for nxs-backup.conf:
smb_params: map
