Selecting the Optimized Scan Method for an IBM i File System Subclient

Configure an IBM i File System subclient for the optimized scan method.

The optimized scan method performs a minimal scan on the IBM i File System subclient content (the /*/QSYS.LIB/*[LIB/OBJ] entries and the user-specified IFS content) to determine the data that the Commvault software needs to back up. The scan generates a file that the software uses to generated SAV* commands. The software processes the references that were made by the SAV* commands after the SAV completes.

For more information about IBM I File System optimized scan, see IBM i Agent Subclient Properties.
