A subclient is a logical entity that contains the databases that need to be backed up. You can back up specific databases at a particular time or frequency by adding the databases to a user-defined subclient for DumpBasedBackupSet.
You cannot create a user-defined subclient for FSBasedBackupSet. It contains a default subclient.
Before You Begin
-
If you have not done so, create a server plan.
This plan determines when the software automatically backs up the data files. For more information, see Creating a Server Plan.
-
If you have not already done so, add an instance for the PostgreSQL database.
Procedure
-
You can add a subclient on the agent details page or the instance details page. Choose one of the options.
-
Instances: From the navigation pane, go to Solutions > DB Instances, in the Actions column for the instance, click the action button
, and then click Add subclient. -
Instance details: From the navigation pane, go to Servers > server > PostgreSQL > instance. Then, in the middle of the page click Add subclient.
The Add subclient dialog box appears.
-
-
In the Subclient name box, type the subclient name.
-
From the Plan list, select a database plan.
-
In the Number of Data Streams box, type the number of streams that the software uses for backups.
-
To include the object list in the backup content for dump-based backups, select the Collect Object List During Backup check box.
-
To add the databases that you want to include in the subclient, click Add Databases.
The Add Databases dialog box appears.
-
In the Enter Multiple Databases dialog box, type the path to the databases.
-
Click OK.
Note
For a Dump based backupset, associate a user-defined subclient to a storage policy and a schedule policy. Do not associate a subclient to a backup plan. Associating a subclient to a backup plan will only associate a storage policy, and not a schedule policy.
Result
The software creates the subclient.
