Remote Mount Plugin For OMV6
Summary
Remote Mount is a plugin that's designed to mount a remote network share, in a manner which makes the resultant file system appear to be a local filesystem on an OMV6 server. This capability makes makes connections to remote OMV servers, non-OMV servers, and Client network shares possible. When remote shares are mounted locally, many operations are possible to include backing up remote server shares, resharing clients shares and even full server share replication.
Prerequisites
- OMV-Extras must be pre-installed.
- A username and password is required, with a minimum of read access to a remote share.
Uses for Remote Mount
- Remote Mount is useful for accessing, mounting, and replicating network shares, located on another LAN server or a LAN client. This capability works very well with Rsync, for backing up network shares over a LAN connection.
- Along with setting up Remote Mount, this document will provide a practical example where Remote Mount and Rsync are used for replicating a network share.
- Remote Mount makes the creation of a full Backup Server relatively easy, with no command line operations required. Guidance for creating a full Backup Server is provided in this document.
