This chapter describes how network storage can be used for archiving. Before setting up archiving to network storage, it is recommended that you read Archiving Overview. For details about archiving procedures, such executing archive jobs and restoring archive sets, see Archiving Procedures.
Archiving to network storage is supported for Unitrends Recovery-Series and UEB appliances that have been licensed for advanced archiving. The following devices are supported:
• A CIFS or NFS-configured Network Attached Storage (NAS) share
• A Storage Area Network (SAN) iSCSI LUN
• An added virtual disk (UEB systems only)
• Cloud storage using Unitrends CloudHook™
Note on archiving to the cloud: Setting up archiving to the cloud is different from setting up archiving to other network archive storage media. For instructions and special considerations, see the chapter Archiving to the Cloud.
