http://serverfault.com – We use mixed CIFS and NFS volumes and I want to run a single backup server that copies all of the files from the NetAPP to local disks that can be sent of site for backup/DR. How would I configure the NetAPP to allow me to read everything on both CIFS and NFS filesystems so that they can be backed up with rsync. I've tried a few different configurations and I even submitted a ticket with NetApp but so far I don't have the NetApp configured correctly so I frequently get access denied. (HowTos)
