Vasileios Giannakopoulos Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hello, I have two locations A & B. Location A has a VM i want to backup Location B has storage (in a Synology using CIFS or NFS) to where i want to backup Both locations are running ESXi. Both locations have Nakivo Backup free edition. I added the transporter of location B to A no problem. I tried adding the repository of location B but it only accepts local directories. So i tried on location B to add the NFS not on the Nakivo level but on the OS (Linux) level. However when I asked the Nakivo on location B to create a repository using the local directory (/opt/nakivo/backups) then i was getting the error The "Onboard transporter" transporter cannot read and/or write to the specified location (/opt/nakivo/test/). I checked the access rights and they seem fine: drwxrwxrwx 2 bhsvc bhsvc 4096 Sep 9 13:19 test and within the folder: drwxrwxrwx 2 bhsvc bhsvc 4.0K Sep 9 13:19 . drwxr-xr-x 6 bhsvc bhsvc 71 Sep 9 13:06 .. Do you guys have any idea of what i am doing wrong or even better how to make it to work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Moderator Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi! We have several questions to clarify: 1. Which package is installed on location B - Full or transporter only? 2. Transporter on B has repository that in located on Synology via CIF/NFS, correct? 3. >>I tried adding the repository of location B but it only accepts local directories. This is not clear because if you added the repository as CIFS/NFS it should also work on site A. 4. >>So i tried on location B to add the NFS not on the Nakivo level but on the OS Could you please issue the "mount" command on B transporter? A point of interest is squash options of NFS. It should be "no_root_squash" or "all_squash". You may also try doing the following on B transporter: #su -s /bin/bash bhsvc #cd <mount point of NFS> Try create/remove fie or directory. Also, we would like to suggest you opening a ticket with NAKIVO support regarding this matter(send your request to support@nakivo.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasileios Giannakopoulos Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks a lot for your reply! 1) Full in both. 2) Yes 3) Perhaps i did the config wrong on site A then. * Assigned Transporter: The one from site B, correct? * Location I have the following options: (1) Local folder on remote transporter (2) remote cifs folder (3) remote nfs folder. Which option is the correct one if transporter on site A doesn't have direct access to the NAS on site B? 4) That works fine, that's how backup is working on site B The reason why i didn't open a support request with NAKIVO is that i am using the free version. Should I do it? Thank you for your time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should deploy a transporter on site B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
