Adding a NAS File Server

To archive data on a NAS file server, add the file server.

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Archiving.

   The File Servers page appears.

2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Add server.

   The Add file server dialog box appears.

3. On the Add new server tab, from the Server Type list, select NAS.

4. In the Display name box, enter a name for the NAS file server.

5. In the Host name box, enter the fully qualified name or the IP address of the file server.
