We use file storage as part of a cluster where all our different shares, like SMB shares and NFS shares, have been configured and presented to the users. Users are accessing that storage for their day-to-day use. Based on that, we have different storage containers that are being synchronized with this file storage. On a daily basis, we take backups and snapshots of the entire environment to ensure that everything is protected.
