Home NAS Linux: backup with Veeam
In this video, we show you how to backup your NAS box on an NTFS USB drive using the free edition of the Veeam client for Linux.
The relevant web pages for Veeam are the following (you will need to create an account):
https://www.veeam.com/products/physic...
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/age...
Reminder: you need to MOUNT the USB drive before starting the backup otherwise Veeam will create the backup in the empty /media/usb-hd mount folder! 🤦🏻♂️
To mount:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/usb-hd
To unmount before removing the USB drive:
umount /media/usb-hd
EDIT: if the USB drive is permanently attached to the computer, you can mount it automatically at bootup. Just add this line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb-hd ntfs nofail 0 0
If you forgot to connect the USB drive before booting, just type mount -a to mount it.
