Adding archive storage

This procedure applies to Unitrends virtual and physical systems, and to Cloud storage. You can archive to a SAN iSCSI LUN, a NAS share, virtual disk (for Unitrends Backup systems only), and Cloud storage.

Note the following archive storage limitations:

• For archive to NAS, each backup system must archive to a separate NAS share. Having more than one backup system archiving to a given NAS share is likely to cause data corruption.
• For archive to iSCSI LUN, each backup system must archive to a separate LUN. Having more than one backup system archiving to a given iSCSI LUN is likely to cause data corruption.
ClosedTo add archive storage
1 Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Storage.
2 Click Add Archive Storage.
3 Enter a name for the storage being configured in the Storage Name field.

Note:  Storage connected using the NFS, CIFS, or iSCSI protocols must not contain spaces in the name.

4 Select the storage Type and continue to one of the following procedures:
• Configuring storage to configure iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NAS, or Added Disk storage.

Note:  For archive to iSCSI LUN, it is recommended to not resize the LUN after it has been added to the backup appliance as the new size cannot be detected by the backup appliance.

• Adding cloud archive storage to the Unitrends appliance to set up Cloud storage.
