• SMB Server - path to the SMB server.

  • path has to include a subdirectory if necessary: //myfileshare.mydomain.com/backups/

  • path work with or without a slash character at the end.
• Username / Password - credentials to authenticate against SMB server.
• Domain - optional parameter used to specify the user's domain if needed.

Verifying SMB file share connection parameters

You can verify the connection parameters by running the following commands to mount a SMB drive on the host machine: 

sudo mkdir /var/foo

sudo mount -t cifs -o 'dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,vers=3.0,username=<Username>,password=<Password>,domain=<Domain>' '<SMB server>' /var/foo

<SMB server>, <Username>, <Password> and <Domain> correspond to the parameters in the Redgate Clone's SMB configuration.

apt-get install cifs-utils

     mount error(2): No such file or directory
