Make the production NRS mount CIFS mountable

While NRS is a great product it requires a backup of the database before registering it into a DR server as a valid NRS database. The backup of the database must still occur and be stored. Once stored the backup must be moved to the DR server(s) that will be restoring it. In our case we have one production server and and DR server running CP4D. I have made the /nrs mount CIFS mountable from production server. This is where I put the database that will become a registered NRS database. Once the full backup is on the NRS mount point it is CIFS mounted to the DR server. Once that mount has been made you can either copy the backup localally and restore it or you can point nzrestore to take the backup from that mount point. I have found that this works really quite well and the speed of the CIFS mount is fast enough to satisfy the requirements of nzrestore. Once the database has been restored it is NRS registered and then NRS services takes over and does the differentials and applies them.
