Configuring Ransomware Protection for a Disk Library on a CIFS Share

To enable the support for ransomware protection for a newly configured disk library on a CIFS share, you must configure the context for the mount location manually in the /etc/fstab system file.

Before You Begin

• If the MediaAgent is a client computer, make sure that there are no active backup or restore operations running on the MediaAgent.

• Configure ransomware protection for the Linux MediaAgent that hosts the disk library.

• Take a backup of the /etc/fstab system file.

Procedure

1. Open the /etc/fstab system file.

2. Update the file to configure the context for the library to system_u:object_r:cvstorage_t:s0.

   Server:/path/to/export /local_mountpoint cifs <options>,context="system_u:object_r:cvstorage_t:s0" 0 0

3. Save the file.

4. Unmount the CIFS mount point, and then mount it again for the protection to take effect.
