[Scripting Mount & Unmount of CloudDrive]

Thanks guys.

 

I will try the above suggestion once my huge backup job is complete :-)

[Scripting Mount & Unmount of CloudDrive]

Hi All

 

I have been using the 3 apps together for a good while on my Windows Server 2012 and love the software!

 

Using drivepool duplication I am safe in the knowledge that my files are safe from drive failure.

 

Recently with the worry of crypto viruses, I am trying to devise a method where my important files are backed up off site, with no persistent drive mapping which cold also be encrypted if infected.

 

A friend has given me space on his SFTP server and I have created a drive on my local machine with CloudDrive.

I then run a scheduled backup with Acronis Backup 11 and it works perfectly.

 

 

Acronis allows the running of commands / scripts at the start and end of backup jobs, I wondered if I could run a command that allowed the mounting of the SFTP CloudDrive at the start of the backup, then a dismount when the backup is complete.

 

This way, there is no persistent drive mapping during normal server operation meaning its not susceptible to a crypto viruses until its mounted.... minimising the risk.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Dave
