→Use Affa to backup to a NFS-mounted NAS or a local attached USB drive
Whith this kind of setup you cannot use the affa rise feature, as it requires the backup archive to be located on the same fileystem as the server installation. The rise option uses hardlinks, which are not working across filesystems.

===== Automount =====
Having the backup archives in the same filesystem is always a risk, which can be minimized by using the automount feature. Then the external filesystem is only mounted during a job run. <br>
In the NAS example set<br>
<code>'AutomountDevice=>'10.200.48.2:/mnt/affashare',</code><br><code>'AutomountPoint =>'mnt/affadevice',</code><br>and skip the step 2.
In the USB drive example set<br>
<code>'AutomountDevice=>'/dev/sdc1',</code><br><code>'AutomountPoint =>'mnt/affadevice',</code><br>and skip the steps 5 to 8.
The mount point will be automatically created, if it does not exist. <br>
For access to the archive directory, you need to mount it manually.
