Gateway Backup to a network drive, Ignition running on Ubuntu Linux

Ignition
1

I recognize this is less an Ignition Question than a Linux network question.

Trying to determine the correct syntax in the Gateway Configuration page for the Network drive.
When i use \ \ IP.IP.IP.IP\SaveHere, instead of saving it to that location, it creates a folder on the local linux server called ' \ \ IP.IP.IP.IP\SaveHere' so clearly I failed at saving the backups to my desired location.

My shared location supports SMB or NFS, I recognize I may need to build a path in the config file of the unbuntu server and then put the logical pathname to that in the gateway config, but am not sure.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

You would configure an automount for the target location so that folder has a local name. Then you just use local Linux naming targeting that folder.
