How to Migrate SMB Filesystems
To migrate SMB filesystems, observe the following requirements:
-
If Active Directory is used, then both the source system and the target system must be in the same AD domain.
-
Unlike NFS source filesystems, SMB systems require authentication to grant access. Therefore, the target system must be aware of the user account on the source system. Ensure also that the user has backup and restore privileges on the source system.
-
The SMB source must be using the SMB 2.0 protocol.
