Configuring a CIFS share as secondary storage for an Enterprise Vault store
You can use Access Appliance as secondary storage with Enterprise Vault 12.0 by exporting the file system over the CIFS protocol.
Note:
Before configuring the CIFS share path as secondary storage, you need to verify that the CIFS share path is accessible. Confirm that I/O operations can occur on the CIFS share.
