Save FMC or FTD Backups to a remote location?

Can't seem to find where this is covered in the documentation. Do I create a remote storage entry, choose NFS if I want to save it to a directory hosted on a remote server or something?

I am getting the following. Not sure if I should really run the commands stated for NFS on Windows. Any ideas?

Error

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
Cannot mount NFS remote device, please verify the remote directory name

@CiscoBrownBelt what syntax do you use? the error asks to confirm the remote directory name on the server.

I am just choosing option on GUI, not using CLI. The path I put it is just general /sharefolder/ etc. Even tried putting IP in front of /sharedfolder, etc.

I just want to back it up to a shared.

@CiscoBrownBelt I've not use NFS before, so I'd have to test if required. I've used SSH to Ubuntu server before, works reliably and is obviously secure.

I tried to do that but it gave error saying can't do when STIG Compliance is enabled which I don't want to disable. Any ideas?

Actually trying to do it via SMB now but get the following error "Error
Cannot mount the SMB remote device. Please verify the host/share/username/password/domain/options if applicable. "

The IP, path, username, etc. all is correct. Any ideas?

Actually resolved error mentioned, but for some reason the FTD 2100 appliance backup never works and/or is backed up to remote location. All other managed FTDv sensors are backup up to the remote location. Hitting the TEST button under the configuration tests successfully. Any ideas anyone?
