In this example I will be using my network share for the purposes of backing up my Ubuntu server using Mondo backup.
Firstly we will need to install required packages.
apt-get install cifs-utils
Make a directory to be used as a mount point for this directory. This is where your network share will be available to on your system.
mkdir /media/serverbackup
We will need to now edit our fstab file to ensure that this network share mounts each time we boot our server. Edit your fstab file as follows:
nano /etc/fstab //[servername]/[sharename] /media/serverbackups cifs username=WINDOWSUSERNAME,password=PASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
Now confirm that everything is set up correctly by manually mounting all available mount points running the below command. If you wish to check the auto-mount functionality you can also just reboot your server. If there are no errors you should be good to go
mount -a
