Removing External Storage
Reclaiming External Storage Data
External Storage data is stored in a top-level directory on the remote server. The data is stored in a directory that is named using the MAC address of the appliance.
For example, if your External Storage target NAS is \\Server1\storage, you specify a subdirectory of Headquarters, and if the appliance MAC address is 00:02:D3:02:9F:50, the data is stored at:
\\Server1\storage\Headquarters\00_02_D3_02_9F_50.
If you need to replace an appliance, copy all of the data that is stored in the old directory into the new directory.
For example, if the MAC address of the new appliance is 00:02:D2:02:9F:51, you would copy the data stored in \\Server1\storage\Headquarters\00_02_D3_02_9F_50 to \\Server1\storage\Headquarters\00_02_D3_02_9F_51.
Once the data is moved to the new directory, use the External Storage task to configure the same driver settings as you had configured on the previous appliance and select Use/Claim selection.
Doing this should provide access to all data that was gathered by the previous appliance.
NOTE: Do not initialize the target share.
