Archiving subclients are logical containers of data to be archived. When you create an archive set, a default subclient is automatically created. The default subclient contains all the data that the agent is responsible to protect.
You can create additional user-defined subclients to manage specific data.
You can use wildcards to define the subclient content, see Wildcards for the Windows File System Agent.
