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 desirable administrative operations are possible.
Potential Uses for Remote Mount
- Remote Mount is useful for mounting, accessing 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.
Prerequisites
- OMV-Extras must be pre-installed.
- A username and password is required, with a minimum of read access to a remote share.
