I’m trying to use iDrive’s AWS style storage for my back ups, but I don’t understand how to configure things correctly.
As an administrator, I have been able to successfully mount the external storage using the following settings
When I go to set up the back up, I get confused because the external locations are listed as amazon::external::xxxxx... e.g.,
Is this what I should expect to see? I’m confused because I see no clear association between the locations listed there and the items listed under the external storage configuration page.
I’m also confused as to what I need to set the ‘restoring point location’ option to. Is this the name of the external folder itself in the admin’s filesystem (e.g. a folder in nextcloud-backup/nextcloud or the folder itself? nextcloud-backup? Or something else?
With the current settings, the error in my log files after trying to run a full back up is:
[backup] Error: File nextcloud is not a folder on External Filesystem
To summarize:
- Why are my external storage options in backup different from my external storage settings used to mount the storage?
- What’s the proper syntax for 'backup restoring point" location? Is it a folder in the external storage itself (as I would expect)?
