Using the NAS Backup and Recovery Plugin
60+
----------------------------------------
61+
To use the NAS Backup and Recovery Plugin, the Backup and Recovery framework needs to be enabled first. Then the backup plugin 'nas' needs to be enabled on either the global setting or on the zone settings.
62+
63+
================================= ========================
64+
Configuration Value
65+
================================= ========================
66+
backup.framework.enabled true
67+
backup.framework.provider.plugin nas
68+
================================= ========================
69+
70+
Once the above two configurations are set, restart the cloudstack-management service. Once the service is restarted we can add the backup repository for the 'nas' Backup and Recovery plugin.
71+
Navigate to the configuration -> Backup Repository. Click on 'Add Backup Repository' and fill the form.
72+
73+
=================== ========================
74+
Field Value
75+
=================== ========================
76+
Name N suitable name to represent the Backup Repository
77+
Address URL, in case of NFS <server IP>:/path
78+
Type NFS ( only NFS type in 4.20)
79+
label.mountopts Any mount point options to be passed while mouting this storage on the hypervisor.
80+
Zone The zone in CloudStack with which this Backup Repository must be associated.
81+
=================== ========================
82+
83+
84+
Once the Backup Repository is created, we need to add a Backup Offering, in this plugin the Backup offering is a placeholder to associate an instance to a Backup Repository. While creating the Backup Offering, select the desired Backup Repository. Associate the Backup Offering on an instance to create an Adhoc or scheduled backup.
