Backup Methods (SCP, NFS, and SAN)
LogLogic LMI supports three backup methods; two offer better speed, and one offers better security.
| Method | Backup System | You Provide... | Faster? | More Secure? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCP | Any server which supports SCP with a user name, typically any UNIX or Linux system. | A server name, user name, and the directory path location where you want to save the backup files. | No | Yes |
| NFS | A NAS or any NFS volume mounted by the appliance. The versions v1-v4 are supported. | A server name and directory path location where you want to save the backup files. | Yes | No |
| SAN | A SAN device available to the appliance. | An HBA and UUID device number. | Yes | No |
Note:
- Backup to a Microsoft Windows system is not supported.
- NFS backup using the UDP protocol is not supported.
- SCP backup requires that rsync be installed on the destination system.
- SAN backup requires access to a SAN device, and a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) installed on an ST2025-SAN, ST2025-SANR1, or ST 2025-SANR2 appliance.
