Modifying and Deleting CIFS/NFS clients

This section describes procedures for modifying and deleting CIFS/NFS clients. Because CIFS/NFS clients are added as NAS storage, they must be modified and deleted through the Settings > Storage and Retention > Storage screen as well.

To modify a CIFS/NFS client

1        Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Storage.

2        Select the desired NAS storage in the grid. The Modify Protect Storage window displays.

3        Modify the following as desired: Username, Password/Verify Password, Host, Port, Protocol, and Share Name.

4        Click Save to save your changes.

To delete a CIFS/NFS client

Use this procedure to remove all of the following from the Unitrends appliance: the NAS mount point from the Storage screen, the CIFS/NFS client from the Navigation pane, and all backups of this CIFS/NFS client.

Caution: When a protected NAS is deleted, all associated backups of that client are also deleted. Please use caution before deleting a protected CIFS/NFS NAS from the Storage screen.

1        Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Storage.

2        Select the desired NAS storage in the grid. The Modify Protect Storage window displays.

3        Click Delete. The Verification window displays.

4        Check the I understand... check box and click Confirm to continue.

Note: If a message displays indicating that this client is scheduled for backup, you must remove the client from all schedules and then perform this procedure again.
