Setup Network Folder
--------------------
.. note:: This guide assumes you have already created a ZFS disk pool in *Storage > Pool* as a place to store your backups. If you need help with this step, see the `TrueNAS documentation <https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scaletutorials/storage/pools/createpoolscale/#creating-a-pool>`_.
#. In the TrueNAS UI, to add a user who will write the backups from the Start9 server to the NAS, go to **Accounts > Users > ADD**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-1-users.png

#. Fill in a human-readable **Full Name**, **Username**, and **Password** for the new user:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-2-newuser.png
:width: 60%
Near the bottom, select **Shell: nologin**, and enable **Samba Authentication**.
Click **SUBMIT**
#. Enable the SMB service via **Services > SMB**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-3-services-enable_smb.png
:width: 60%
Also ensure the **Start Automatically** box is checked.
#. Open a shell and create your backups directory:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-4-shell-mkdir.png
:width: 60%
In this example, we will create a directory called *start9backupshare* on the root of our storage pool:
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir /mnt/zpooldisk1/start9backupshare
This is the example path we will use in this guide. You may choose a different name or path.
#. Under **Sharing > Windows Shares (SMB)**, drill down into the path until you find the directory to be shared:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-5-sharing-smb-create_share.png
:width: 60%
We give the share the **Name** *nasshare*
Click **SUBMIT** to create the share.
#. A **Configure ACL** dialog will emerge. Click **CONFIGURE NOW**:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-6-sharing-smb-config_acl.png
:width: 60%
#. You will be brought to an **Edit ACL** screen.
Under **User** check "Apply User" and select or type the username we created in Step 2:
.. figure:: /_static/images/backups/truenas-7-acl.png
:width: 60%
Off to the right-hand side, *Permissions Type* should be set to "Basic" and *Permissions* should be set to "Full Control".
Click **SAVE**
Connect Embassy
---------------
#. Go to *System > Create Backup*.
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/embassy_backup.png
:width: 60%
#. Click "Open".
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/embassy_backup0.png
:width: 60%
#. Fill in the following fields:
* Hostname - Enter your truenas hostname: `truenas.local`
* Path - This is the "Name" of the share that we set in step 5: *nasshare*
* Username - This is the Username of the user we created in Step 2: *s9backup*
* Password - This is the Password of that user, also set in Step 2

#. Click "Save".
That's it! You can now :ref:`Create<backup-create>` encrypted, private backups of all your Start9 server's data to your TrueNAS!
