The Commvault file archiving solution for UNIX and Macintosh File Systems enables you to move data to a secondary storage and use it to function as an archive copy.

Note
For FreeBSD and Macintosh, the file system should be mounted with extended attribute option. If the extended attribute option is not enabled on the mount point, files will be backed up but not archived.
What is Not Archived
The following file objects are automatically filtered out of archive operations by the system:
|
UNIX and Macintosh |
Sparse files (For example, file archiver stub files) Install directory Job Results directory Log files directory /usr system directory /kernel system directory /etc system directory /tmp directory Extended attributes in the OES Linux data Stubs originating from an NSS volume on an OES Linux computer Files with extensions *.a, *.ksh, *.csh, *.sh, *.lib, and *.so are automatically filtered out of the subclient content by default. Similarly, files in the following directories are also skipped from archiving: /usr/**, /bin/**, /lib/**, /boot/**, /dev/**, /etc/**, /var/**, /tmp/**, /sbin/**, /lib64/**, /opt/**, /sys/**, /kernel/**, /devices/**, /proc/**, /selinux/**, /stand/** |

/**/*.imp, /**/*.exp |
|

|

|
