Managing FMA archives
Configure backend archives
First you need to configure the archive location where your data is copied to. Each remote storage adapter
supports a primary and secondary archive path. The replication to the secondary archive must be handled
outside of FMA via some replication mechanism, such as FSE Archive. If the primary archive location is not
accessible, the secondary archive path is used for data retrieval. Migrations are only performed to the
primary archive location.
FMA supports three different types of remote storage adapters (RSA) for accessing backend archives:
• RSA-CIFS uses the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for attaching FMA to NTFS or
Samba-based file system archive stores via network shares.
• RSA-FTP uses the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for connecting FMA to FSE Archive systems and to
non-NTFS file system archive stores. It is recommended to use RSA-FTP for Windows and Linux-based
FSE Archive systems.
RSA-FTP has been successfully tested in combination with the following FTP servers:
• GDS FTP-Server version 2.0.3 (used on Windows FSE Archive)
• vs FT PD vers ion 1.1.0
•ProFTPD version 1.2
• RSA-RISS is used for connecting FMA to the RISS.
