NAS Devices backup

Im wondering what am I doing wrong.

I am new to networker.

Please help.

Thank you,

Well you need to label the disk. (Similar to a tape.)

In the devices tab, mark your disk, right-click and select "label". Select the desired pool.

I guess that you would like a schematic picture like this..

Client << -->> group <<-->> pool <<-->> volume

Create a group

Add group i the client definition.

In the pool config, add the group.

Label a volume in the pool.

It can be made in various ways, but it's a basic way of doing it. Now start the group.

Good luck,

H

hello,

Were you successful in getting this setup? I would be happy to assist if not.

Please let me know. It is relatively simple but for the first time, without diving into the docs, it could be a little confusing.

Cheers,

Steev

Thanks for the reply.

I am reading into the documentation.  But some times im impatient

anyway,

I have already done all that what you ve said already before posting.

I get an alert saying

"waiting for 8 writable volume(s) to backup pool 'B2D Test' tape(s) or disk(s) on svr-backup"....

Sorry the the delay!

It sounds like the disk devices you created are not labeled to the "B2D Test" pool.

"waiting for 8 writable volume(s) to backup pool 'B2D Test' tape(s) or disk(s) on svr-backup"....

Lets try this...

1. Under Media create a Label Template called "buffalo_test"
2. In the B2D Test pool assign that label template
3. Under Devices select the disks you which to write to and Label them with the "buffalo_test" template you created earlier
4. Either select Mount After Label checkbox or be sure to right click on the disk and Mount it

Give that a try and let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Ahmed- I just saw this post again.  Did it get resolved or still need assistance?

Thanks,
