STOREGRID INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY

We need to do some extra steps

Map the drive ( NAS) using StoreGrid

How to get here in the StoreGrid Web Console?

In the top menu of Backup Server, select: " Administration -> Advanced Options" page and click on the 'Mapped Drive Settings' icon on the left hand side.

• Install StoreGrid as a Service with the administrative privileges.Go to the 'Administration -> Advanced Options -> Mapped Drive Settings' page. Give the Drive Name and drive path, i.e. the UNC Path (\\server\sharename) for the mapped drive.Note: The 'User Name' and 'Password' details are not mandatory. They are needed only if Windows OS requires the 'User Name' and 'Password' to access the mapped drive.

• Add mapped drives by clicking on ' Add Mapped Drive' button , Assuming the drive name “G:\”.

The mapped drives will get listed in the 'Add Backup Schedule' page and you can configure backup schedule to include files and folders in them.

Tweaking StoreGrid’s configuration file

We need to change the basic configuration of StoreGrid by editing the “SGConfiguration.conf ’ file located under the conf/ directory.

“BackupDBStorageLocation” Option

Look for “BackupDBStorageLocation” Option and change the value to “2” from “0”

Set the path Path="“ value to local installation folder.

Save the file.

Go to Server Admin > Group Management

Click on Edit Group Details and change the Backup Location : to G:\ and click next. (Here “G” is Mapped NAS Drive)

Now Configure schedule as per the requirement.
