Problem under debian to use external storage

Server
1

Hi together.

I try to use urbackup server on an debain server. The storage is on a terastation.
I`m not good in linux, so i used google alot…

What i did:
Made a dir /mnt/urbackup with chmod 777
Put in fstab “//192.168.115.220/urbackup /mnt/urbackup cifs username=admin,password=XXX,uid=1000 0 0”
mount -a

Now i can enter the folder in nautilus and create files, folders etc. and can see it from my windows machine, too. So the mountig worked.

In urbackup config i changed the path to “/mnt/urbackup”, bit i get all the time the error:
The directory where UrBackup will save backups is inaccessible. Please fix that by modifying this folder in ‘Settings’ or by giving UrBackup rights to access this directory.(err_cannot_create_subdir)

What i`m doing wrong?
How i can use the storage from our terastation?
I already tryed in urbackup to set tu //192.168.115.220/urbackup, but this created a local folder and it stored all files localy…
I have no more idea how to do :frowning:

chown urbackup:urbackup /mnt/urbackup
should do the trick
if that does not work you could try switching to NFS

I did two things. Your idea + i changed from uid=1000 to uid=urbackup, becaus ei saw after mounting the owner changed.

Thanks!
