Unicode; Migrating Data To The Snapserver - Overland Storage SnapServer 110 Configuration And Hardware Options Manual

Migrating Data to the SnapServer

SnapTrees
SnapTrees are directories that can be configured for the Windows/Mixed or UNIX
security model. SnapTrees make a specific directory structure follow the rules of the
specified security model, which indicates which file permission personality will be
present on files by default, and whether that personality can be changed by users
when changing permissions. All top level volume directories, as well as all
directories inside the first level of a volume, are considered SnapTrees.
NFS Share Access
When controlling share access for NFS clients, administrators can limit client access
to the shares independently of share level permissions that apply to other protocols.
Access is controlled on a per-share basis. To set the NFS access, open the
page and click the appropriate
on this screen affect the NFS "exports" file within GuardianOS.
Note
If there are multiple shares to the same directory on the disk, and those shares
permit access via NFS, they must all have the same NFS export configuration. This
is enforced when configuring NFS access to the overlapping shares.

Unicode

Unicode support can be enabled on the SnapServer in networks where multibyte
files and directories with non-Roman script names will be stored on the server. The
Unicode file system can be enabled before data is written to the shares, and can be
enabled later, by converting the file system and the files residing on the system.
Most backup and data management applications do not fully support Unicode.
Some SnapExtensions will become disabled when Unicode is enabled. Please
review the online help for more details about Unicode.
Migrating Data to the SnapServer
Once storage structure and data management configurations have been set, data
can be migrated from a legacy SnapServer or other computer that supports CIFS or
NFS to the new SnapServer. The Data Migration (DM) utility, preinstalled with
GuardianOS v4.4 and above, can be used to copy or move files and folders from a
server on the network (source) to a SnapServer (target).
