Workstation backup configuration
« on: April 22, 2016, 02:14:26 PM »
I have configured a Workstation server backup from Webui interface of Sme server to a NAS drive. The nas drive is mounted to the Sme server in order to fulfil the backup process.
Can I mount the NAS drive only just before the backup process begins and unmount it just after backup process finished?

The backup process should do that for you automatically--the remote share shouldn't be mounted when the backup isn't running.
