Moving Backups to an NFS

You can configure Network File System (NFS) for a stand-alone JSA appliance, or a JSA appliance that you are making the primary host in an HA deployment.

You must ensure that the JSA appliance can reach the NFS server.

1. Using SSH, log in to JSA host as the root user.
2. Start NFS services by typing the following commands:
   systemctl enable rpcbind

systemctl start rpcbind
3. Add the following line to the /etc/fstab file.

   nfsserver:/nfs/export/path /store/backup nfs rw,soft,intr,noac 0 0

   You might need to adjust the settings for the NFS mount point to accommodate your configuration.

4. Move your backup files from the existing directory to a temporary location by typing the following commands:
   cd /store/

mv backup backup.local
5. Create a new backup directory by typing the following command:
   mkdir /store/backup
6. Set the permissions for the NFS volume by typing the following command:
   chown nobody:nobody /store/backup
7. Mount the NFS volume by typing the following command:
   mount /store/backup
8. Verify that /store/backup is mounted by typing the following command:
   df -h
9. Move the backup files from the temporary location to the NFS volume by typing the following command:
   mv -f /store/backup.local/* /store/backup
10. Remove the backup.local directory by typing the following commands:
    cd /store

rm -r backup.local
