Once the back-end file or directory is identified, you need to identify a file server with
its backed-up file(s). This is the source for the restore operation. In some installations,

on this, refer to Chapter 6, Adding an External Filer
Guide.)
For example, the following command sequence sets up a file server at 192.168.25.51:
bstnA6k(gbl)# external-filer nasE1
bstnA6k(gbl-ext-filer[nasE1])# ip address 192.168.25.51
bstnA6k(gbl-ext-filer[nasE1])# ...
