3.6.4. NFS

To use storage such as NFS to provide backups, do the following.

1. Add a set consisting of a unique connection name and a set of connection parameters of type nfs_params to the storage_connects main config block.

Example for connecting to NFS storage on 192.168.0.1 server with backups/directory, in the storage_connects block of nxs-backup.conf.

storage_connects:
- name: nfs_test
  nfs_params:
    host: 192.168.0.1
    target: backups

2. Add backup storage options for the previously specified storage name to the storages_options block in the job parameters.

storages_options:
- storage_name: nfs_test
  backup_path: /databases/mongodb
  retention:
    days: 10
    weeks: 0
    months: 6

`nfs_params` reference for nxs-backup.conf:

nfs_params: map
  # NFS host
  host: string # Required
  # Path on NFS server where backups will be stored
  target: string # Required
  # UID of NFS server user
  UID: int # Default: 0
  # GID of NFS server user 
  GID: int # Default: 0
