content/path	Location of the content to be backed up. This parameter must be used along with the 'contentOperationType' parameter, for example: -contentOperationType <value> -content/path '<path value>' Note the following: If you want to specify a wildcard to the content path, you must add '\/\/" (back and forward slash) at the end of the path to enable the detection of wildcard characters: `-content/path 'datapath*\/\/'` If you are using a UNC path to specify the subclient content, you must also use the 'impersonateUser/userName' and 'impersonateUser/password' parameters to provide the credentials of a user account that has the required privileges to access the network share (where the content resides).
content/excludepath	Location of the content to be excluded from backup. This parameter must be used along with the 'contentOperationType' parameter, for example: -contentOperationType <value> -content/excludepath '<path value>'
content/includepath	Location of the content to be included in the backup from the excluded list. This parameter must be used along with the 'contentOperationType' parameter, for example: -contentOperationType <value> -content/includepath '<path value>'
impersonateUser/userName	User name of the account that has the required privileges to access the data on a network share when specifying UNC paths for the subclient content.
impersonateUser/password	Password of the account that has the required privileges to access the network share. This parameter must be used along with the 'impersonateUser/userName' parameter.
contentOperationType	The type of operation to perform on the subclient content. The content is defined in the content parameters. Valid values are: ADD, to add content to the subclient. OVERWRITE, to overwrite content for the subclient. When you use OVERWRITE, you must define all of the content parameters you want to keep. For example, to update the subclient content and keep an existing exclusion defined for your content, you must use the following parameters in your command: `-contentOperationType OVERWRITE -content/path new_path_value -content/excludepath existing_exclude_value` DELETE, to delete content from the subclient.
