To configure the mount server settings:

The Windows mount server list contains only Microsoft Windows servers added to the backup infrastructure. If the server is not added to the backup infrastructure yet, click Add New on the right to open the New Windows Server wizard. For more information, see Adding Microsoft Windows Servers.
- From the Linux mount server list, select a Linux server that you want to use as a mount server. The Linux mount server list contains only RHEL/Rocky-based Linux servers added to the backup infrastructure and Veeam Software Appliance. If the server is not added to the backup infrastructure yet, click Add New on the right to open the New Linux Server wizard. For more information, see Adding Linux Servers.
- Click Configure settings to configure other settings for the selected mount servers:
- Select the Enable vPower NFS service on the mount server check box to allow the Veeam vPower NFS Service access the object storage repository. Veeam Backup & Replication will enable the Veeam vPower NFS Service on the necessary mount server. For more information, see Veeam vPower NFS Service.
