Issue/Introduction

You want to use Windows server as the Backup server for the SpanVA Backup and Restore location.

Resolution

Use SFTP as the Backup Transport type.

OpenSSH should be used for SFTP on Windows. IIS does not natively support SFTP. The below steps will help to install and configure OpenSSH on Windows.

1) In Windows, search for Optional Features
2) Click on Manage optional features

3) Click Add a feature
4) Search for OpenSSH Server
5) Select OpenSSH Server and click Add
6) Open Services.msc and find OpenSSH Server. Make sure the Service is started and running, and set the Startup Type to Automatic.
7) In SpanVA Backup tab, configure the IP address and user/password. The Target Path can be \ and that would set the backup location to the users folder (C:\Users\ftpuser)
