You can use the Commvault Windows File System agent to back up and restore the AWS FSx SMB shares that are configured with the AWS managed active directory.
Key Features
-
You can perform full, differential, incremental, and synthetic full backups of files hosted on AWS FSx SMB shares.
-
You can back up and restore AWS FSx SMB shares data with ACLs.
-
You can back up Amazon FSx file storage that is mounted on Linux by using a Linux proxy. The content to be backed up by the subclient must be on a mounted path that has been mounted on an access node using the CIFS protocol. You cannot use the automount format.
-
You can archive files hosted on AWS FSx SMB shares based on pre-defined archiving rules.
-
You can restore AWS FSx SMB shares data to on-premise computers or vice versa.
Limitations
-
When you restore AWS FSx SMB shares data to on-premise computers, ACL restores might only display the user ID because the on-premise domain might not map the AWS FSx SMB share domain.
-
When you restore data from an on-premise computer to AWS FSx SMB shares, the data is restored. However hard links, soft links, and some special attributes such as compression are lost.
-
You cannot restore both data and ACLs from an on-premise computer to AWS FSx.
-
When you back up Amazon FSx file storage that is mounted on Linux, ACLs which have been created on the SMB share are not backed up.
